Chapter 1 Overview
Test Preparations
The following preparations should be done before the test:
1. Self-test
2. Warm-up (make sure that the instrument has been running for at least 30 minutes)
3. Self-calibration
Self-test
When the oscilloscope is in power-on state, press the power key at the lower left corner of the front
panel to start the oscilloscope. During the start-up, the instrument performs a series of self-test items.
The welcome screen is displayed after the self-test is finished.
If the oscilloscope cannot start normally, refer to "Troubleshooting" section in
DS1000Z-E User Guide
to locate the problem and resolve it. Do not perform self-calibration or performance tests until the
instrument passes the self-test.
Self-calibration
Make sure that the oscilloscope has been warmed up or running for more than 30 minutes before
performing self-calibration.
1. Disconnect the connections of all the channels.
2. Press Utility  Self-Cal; press Start to execute self-calibration.
3. The self-calibration lasts for about 30 minutes. After the self-calibration is finished, the
corresponding prompt message is displayed. At this point, please restart the instrument.
4. Press Acquire  Mode and use to select "Average"; press Averages and use to set it to
16.
5. Set the probe attenuation ratio of each channel to "1X" (press CH1 (or CH2)  Probe).
6. Set the vertical scale of each channel to 2 mV/div and view the offset of the waveform of each
channel. If the offset is greater than 0.5 div, check whether there are interference signals around
you and whether the power source is well grounded. If yes, perform self-calibration again.
Test Result Record
Record and keep the test result of each test. In the Appendix of this manual, a test result record form
which lists all the test items and their corresponding performance limits as well as spaces for users to
record the test results, is provided.
Tip:
It is recommended that users photocopy the test record form before each test and record the test
results in the copy so that the form can be used repeatedly.
