Usage

Basic Usage

The UI could be divided to 4 parts: main menu (top), functions (right column), status bar (bottom), and waveform & markers displays. Use cursor up , down, left , right to navigate among the three operational parts and make adjustments.

and B could be displayed.

Menu

Horizontal main menu on top of screen, Navigate by left and right, adjust by up and down. Sync. Mode: When blinking, press up and down to select 4 different synchronization mode: AUTO, NORM, SING, and NONE.

triggered.

triggered waveform.

Vertical Scale: When blinking, press up and down to select different level of sensitivity. Total 19 scales are optional from 10mV/Div to 100V/Div.

20V/Div, please use probe with attenuation of 10:1).

match reference waveform, the latter will be cleared.

Horizontal sensitivity: When blinking, press up and down to select different sensitivities. from 1uS/Div to 10S/Div total 22 grades. Note 2: If newly set sensitivity does not match reference waveform, the latter will be cleared.

Y position: When blinking, press up and down to adjust the vertical position of the waveform. Press M to hide/activate Y position marker if needed.

Calculation Mode: Auto calculation modes include:

Power supply mode: Power supply by internal battery or USB port. Battery bar will be displayed when powered from internal.

Functions

Vertical function buttons on side of screen, Navigate by up and down ,adjust by left and right.

Trigger sensitivity: When blinking, press left and right to adjust trigger sensitivity, trigger level marker (Yellow dotted area) changes correspondingly.

Trigger Type: When blinking, press left and right to choose trigger mode of rising edge or falling edge.

Probe attenuation scale: When blinking, press left and right to choose 1:1 or 1:10 probe.

Save waveform: When blinking, status bar will display “ Save Filexxx”, press left and right to select file name with xxx = 000-255. Press M to save current waveform on display to SD card.

Load waveform: When blinking, status bar will display “ Save Filexxx”, press left and right to select file name with xxx = 000-255. Press M to load current waveform to display from SD card.

Note: current version has no file creation function, a FILEXXX.DAT must be prepared by connecting to PC by USB.

Ref. square wave freq: When blinking, press left and right to adjust the frequency of reference square wave.

Horizontal position adj: When blinking, press left and right to scroll waveform horizontally.

Index Bar: Show current display position of total loaded wavefrom.

Status Bar

Time markers: When blinking, press left and right to adjust T1 or T2 time measure marker, the time difference PT=T1-T2 will be displayed.

Voltage markers: When blinking, press left and right to adjust V1 or V2 time measure marker, the Voltage difference PV=V1-V2 will be displayed.

Trigger level: When blinking, press left and right to adjust trigger level, trigger level marker (Yellow dotted line) changes correspondingly.

Save Settings

Hold “R/S” Button and press “M” button to save current settings as default.

Firmware and upgrades

The DSO Nano v1 can use the same firmware as v2. See the common DSO Nano page for more information.

FAQ

Question1: What is the maximum input voltage when using a 10x probe on the Nano DSO?
Answer: The maximum input voltage could be 80Vpp. So when using a 10x probe on the Nano DSO, it could be 800 Vpp. However, we did not test that, and we are not responsible for any damage and injury because of measuring high voltage.
