Connection scenarios

Check both inputs with the built-in generator

Use the generator output and a compatible ×1 coax connection to check CH A, then move the same connection to CH B. Power the scope from its internal battery for this test.

Bench checks

  • Select a square wave near 1 kHz and 3 Vpp. On the connected channel select ×1, DC coupling and 1 V/div. Start at 200 µs/div and use rising-edge triggering.
  • Check that the period is about 1 ms. Move the lead from CH A to CH B and repeat with CH B selected as the trigger source.
