Power-on Inspection
When the oscilloscope is energized, pressing the power key
at the lower-left
corner of the front panel can start the oscilloscope if the power status is currently set
to “Default” and the oscilloscope will starts directly if the power status is currently set
to “Open”. During the start-up process, the oscilloscope performs a series of
self-tests and you can hear the sound of relay switching. After the self-test, 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.
