Power-on Inspection 
 
When the oscilloscope is energized, press the power key 
 at the lower-left corner 
of the front panel to turn on the oscilloscope. During the start-up process, the 
oscilloscope performs a series of self-test items. After the self-test is finished, the 
welcome screen is displayed. The instrument is installed with the trial versions of the 
options before leaving factory and the remaining time is about 2000 minutes. The 
“Installed Options” dialog box will be displayed if your instrument currently installs 
the trial versions of options. From this dialog box you can view the names, details, 
versions and the remaining time of the options currently installed.
