2. Instrucións de seguridade

Always observe the following safety precautions to prevent electric shock, injury, or damage to the instrument:

• Fonte de enerxía: Connect the instrument only to a power source with the specified voltage e frecuencia.
• Conexión a terra: Ensure the instrument is properly grounded to prevent electric shock.
• Ventilación: Do not block ventilation openings. Ensure adequate airflow to prevent overheating.
• Ambiente: Operate the oscilloscope in a dry, clean environment, away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and excessive dust or humidity.
• Sondas: Use only probes rated for the voltage and frequency being measured. Ensure probes are in good condition.
• Servizo: Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Do not attempt to open or repair the instrument yourself.
• Contacto con líquidos: Avoid contact with liquids. If liquid enters the device, disconnect power immediately and have it inspected by a qualified technician.

Figura 4.1: Fronte view of the VOLTCRAFT GOS-632 FG Oscilloscope. This image shows the main display, control knobs, and input connectors for the two channels and the frequency generator output.

4.1. Controis do panel frontal

• CRT Display: Shows the waveform.
• CH1/CH2 Input: Conectores BNC para conectar sondas de osciloscopio.
• VOLTS/DIV: Adjusts the vertical sensitivity for each channel.
• POSICIÓN: Adjusts the vertical position of the waveform.
• TIME/DIV: Adjusts the horizontal sweep speed.
• TRIGGER LEVEL: Establece o voltage level at which the sweep starts.
• MODO: Selects trigger source (CH1, CH2, EXT, LINE).
• FREQUENCY GENERATOR OUTPUT: BNC connector for the integrated signal generator.
• FREQUENCY/AMPLITUDE: Controls for the frequency generator output.
• Interruptor POWER: Acende ou apaga o dispositivo.

4.2. Conexións do panel traseiro

• Entrada de enerxía CA: Conector para o cable de alimentación.
• Terminal de terra: For additional grounding if required.

5. Configuración

1. Desembalaxe: Carefully remove the oscilloscope from its packaging. Retain the packaging for future transport.
2. Colocación: Place the oscilloscope on a stable, level surface with adequate ventilation around the unit.
3. Conexión de alimentación: Connect the supplied power cord to the AC power input on the rear panel and then to a grounded electrical outlet.
4. Conexión da sonda: Connect the oscilloscope probes to the CH1 and/or CH2 BNC input connectors on the front panel. Ensure a secure connection.
5. Probe Compensation: Before taking measurements, compensate your probes. Connect the probe tip to the probe compensation output (usually a square wave signal on the front panel) and adjust the probe's compensation trimmer until a flat-top square wave is displayed.

6. Funcionamento do osciloscopio

6.1. Medición básica

1. Encendido: Press the POWER switch to turn on the oscilloscope. Allow a few minutes for the display to stabilize.
2. Sinal de entrada: Connect the probe to the circuit point you wish to measure.
3. Vertical Adjustment (VOLTS/DIV & POSITION):
   • Select the appropriate VOLTS/DIV setting to display the waveform within the screen.
   • Use the POSITION knob to center the waveform vertically.
4. Horizontal Adjustment (TIME/DIV & POSITION):
   • Select the appropriate TIME/DIV setting to display several cycles of the waveform horizontally.
   • Use the horizontal POSITION knob to move the waveform left or right.
5. Trigger Setup:
   • Set the TRIGGER MODE (e.g., AUTO, NORM).
   • Adjust the TRIGGER LEVEL knob until a stable waveform is displayed.
   • Select the TRIGGER SOURCE (e.g., CH1, CH2).

6.2. Using the Frequency Generator

1. Conectar saída: Connect a BNC cable from the FREQUENCY GENERATOR OUTPUT to the circuit or device under test.
2. Establecer frecuencia: Use the FREQUENCY control to select the desired output frequency.
3. Establecer Amplititude: Usa o AMPLITUDE control to adjust the output signal strength.
4. Selección de forma de onda: If available, select the desired waveform type (e.g., sine, square, triangle).

7. Mantemento

• Limpeza: Desconecte o cable de alimentación antes de limpar. Use un pano suave eamp cloth with a mild detergent to clean the exterior. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Almacenamento: When not in use for extended periods, store the oscilloscope in a dry, dust-free environment.
• Calibración: For accurate measurements, periodic calibration by qualified personnel is recommended.
