Safety operation standards

1. Electrical safety

Grounding requirements: A 3-pin power cord must be used, and the grounding conductor must be connected to the ground. It is forbidden to disconnect the grounding

Voltage limitation: The maximum voltage of the input channel is 300V RMS CAT II, and when it exceeds 100kHz, it attenuates by 20dB/tenfold

Probe safety: When using TPP series probes, fingers should be placed behind a protective barrier and touching the metal parts of the probe is prohibited

2. Operation taboos

Prohibited from use in damp/explosive environments, avoid liquid spraying equipment

It is prohibited to dismantle the equipment casing as high internal voltage may cause electric shock

When connecting/disconnecting the probe, the signal source should be disconnected first to avoid arc damage

Basic operation process

1. Equipment installation and functional inspection

Power connection: Connect to a 90-264VAC/45-66Hz power supply, with a maximum power consumption of 30W

Secure fixation: Fix equipment through safety lock holes or cable channels to prevent slipping

Functional check:

Press' Default Setup 'to restore factory settings

Connect the probe to CH1, and connect the probe tip to the PROBE COMP terminal（ 5V@1kHz Square wave

Press [Autoset], the screen should display a stable square wave, and the calibration status should be "PASSED"

2. Probe operation

Manual compensation:

Probe connected to CH1, set attenuation to 10X

Connect the probe tip to [PROBE COMP] and press [Autoset]

Adjust the probe compensation hole to make the square wave edge straight (to avoid overcompensation/undercompensation)

Attenuation setting: default 10X, P2220 probe supports 1X/10X switching (bandwidth limited to 6MHz at 1X)

Current probe: The scaling ratio needs to be manually set (default 10A/V) to ensure accurate readings

3. Self calibration and firmware updates

Self calibration:

Trigger condition: If the environmental temperature difference exceeds 5 ℃ or once a week, preheating for 20 minutes is required

Operation steps: Disconnect all probes → 【 Utility 】 → 【 Do Self Cal 】 → Follow the prompts to complete (about 2 minutes)

Firmware update:

Download the latest firmware from the official website (www.tektronix. com/software)

Copy to the root directory of the USB flash drive and insert the oscilloscope

[Utility] → [File Utilities] → [Update Firmware] → Wait for completion

Core System and Control

1. Vertical Controls

Coupling method:

DC: Transmitting AC+DC signals, suitable for measuring signals with DC offset

AC: Block DC components, suitable for observing AC signals

GND: Disconnect input, display 0V line, used for calibrating ground reference

Bandwidth limit: 20MHz bandwidth limit can be selected to reduce high-frequency noise

Voltage/grid adjustment: Range 2mV-5V/div, supports coarse adjustment (1-2-5 sequence)/fine adjustment (small step size)

2. Horizontal Controls

Time base range:

30MHz model: 10ns-50s/div

50/70MHz model: 5ns-50s/div

100/150/200MHz model: 2.5ns-50s/div

Scanning mode: automatically turned on when the time base is ≥ 100ms/div and the trigger mode is "Auto", and the waveform scrolls from left to right
