Chapter 1 Overview
DSC-5300 Series Digital Oscilloscope is mini-type and portable bench type instruments,
which could be used for measuring as the GND voltage.
This Chapter shows you how to operate following tasks:
•Accidence of panel and Display information
•Simple checking of functions
•Matching probes attenuation coefficient
•Probe compensation

1.1 Overview of Panel and Display Information
1.1.1 Front Panel
It is important for you to understand the DSO’s front panel before operating it. The
following contents are the brief introduction for the front panel function, which is useful
to be familiar with the operation of the DSC-5300 Digital Storage Oscilloscope in short
time.
The oscilloscopes provides an easy-to-use front panel to convenience users to operate
them, the panel contains knobs and buttons. There is a list of five ashen buttons as menu
operational buttons on the right of display screen. You can set different options of the
current menu in virtue of them. Other buttons are function buttons; you can enter
different function menus or obtain given function application in virtue of them.

1.2 Function Checking
When you check whether or not the oscilloscope could work smoothly, please operate
as following:
1. Power On the oscilloscope.
Press “DEFAULT SETUP” to show the result of the self check. The probe default
attenuation is 1X.

2. Set the switch to 1X on the probe and connect the probe to channel 1 on the
oscilloscope. To do this, align the slot in the probe connector with the key on the CH 1
BNC, push to connect, and twist to the right to lock the probe in place. Connect the probe
tip and reference lead to the PROBE COMP connectors
