instrument to gain a basic understanding of what the instrument can do.
Chapter2
Name and Use of Each Part
Describes the name and function of each part of the instrument. For keys and rotary knob,
reference sections (or page numbers) are also given.
Chapter3
Before Starting Measurement
Describes usage precautions, how to install the instrument, connect the power cord, turn the
power switch ON/OFF, connect a probe and set the date and time.
Chapter4
Common Operations
Describes how to start and stop acquisition of a measuring input signal and set a numerical value
using the ten-key.
Chapter5
Setting the Sampling Mode and Measurement Function (Item)
Describes how to set the sampling mode and measurement function (item).
Chapter6
Setting the Acquisition Conditions for Input Signal to be Measured
Describes how to set the acquisition conditions for the input signal to be measured, including
input coupling, input impedance, trigger mode and trigger level, gate type, sample size and
sampling interval, arming source, slope, delay types, and inhibit.
Chapter7
Displaying the Measured/Computed Data
Describes how to display a histogram, time variation, list of measured data and statistic values,
and how to set multi-window, panorama display and histogram data addition functions.
Chapter8
Storing and Recalling the Set-up Information from the Internal Memory
Describes how to store the set-up information to the internal memory and how to recall the stored
set-up information and change it.
Chapter9
Saving and Loading the Data from a Floppy Disk
Describes how to save data such as set-up information, measured/computed results and screen
image to a floppy disk, load the saved data, format a floppy disk and delete data.
Chapter10
Using Other Functions

monitor signals, initialize the set-up information, calibrate the instrument, set the screen contrast
and set the touch key sound.
Chapter11
Troubleshooting and Maintenance
Describes corrective actions to be taken in case of problems and their causes, describes error
messages, how to use the error logging and self-test functions, adjust the time base, carry out the
performance test and reset the circuit breaker.
