General Check

Please perform the following checks after receiving the TA4000 oscilloscope:

Check the shipping container for damage:

Keep shipping container and cushioning material if damaged, until the contents of the

shipment have been checked and the instrument has been checked mechanically

and electronically.

Check the accessories:

Accessories supplied with the TA4000 are listed in "Accessories" on page 22. If the

contents are incomplete or damaged, please notify your dealer.

Check the instrument:

In case there is any mechanical damage or defect, or the instrument does not operate

properly, please notify your supplier.

Probe Compensation

Perform this function to match the characteristics of the probe and the channel input.

This should be performed whenever attaching a probe to any input channel for the first

time.

From the “Probe” menu, select attenuation to 1:10. Set the switch to “x10” on the

probe and connect it to CH1 of the oscilloscope. When using the probe hook-tip, insert

the tip onto the probe firmly to ensure a proper connection.

Attach the probe tip to the Probe Compensator and the reference lead to the ground

connector, select CH1, and then press the “AUTOSET“ button in the menu or the

toolbar.

Check the shape of the displayed waveform.
