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 and you can hear the sound of relay
switching. 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 “Current Options” dialog box will be
displayed if your instrument currently installs the trial versions of options. From this
dialog box you can view the types, names, versions and the remaining time of the
options currently installed.
