OWON PDS6062S (01) PDF Document

To verify the normal operation of the OWON PDS6062S, follow these steps:

Step 1. Connect the instrument to power and push the power switch button. The OWON PDS6062S will carry out self-check items.

Step 2. Press the UTILITY button to access the FUNCTION menu and push F2 to select Recall Factory.

Step 3. Set the switch on the oscilloscope probe to 10X and connect it to the CH1 channel. Ensure the slot in the probe aligns with the plug in the CH1 connector BNC, then tighten by rotating to the right.

Step 4. Connect the probe tip and ground clamp to the connector of the probe compensator.

Step 5. Press the AUTO SET button. A square wave of 1 KHz frequency and 5V peak-peak value should be displayed within several seconds. Repeat this for CH2.

When connecting the probe to an input channel for the first time on the OWON PDS6062S, perform this adjustment to match the probe with the input channel:

Step 1. Set the attenuation coefficient in the menu to 10X and the switch on the probe to 10X. Connect the probe to the CH1 channel.

Step 2. Connect the probe tip to the signal connector of the probe compensator and the reference wire clamp to the ground wire connector, then press the AUTOSET button.

Step 3. Check the displayed waveform and regulate the probe until correct compensation is achieved. Adjustments may be overcompensated, compensated correctly, or undercompensated.

To set the probe attenuation coefficient for the OWON PDS6062S, press the function menu button of the channel being used, then push the selection button corresponding to the probe until the correct value is shown.

Note: Ensure the attenuation switch setting on the probe matches the menu selection in the OWON PDS6062S.

The supported attenuation coefficients and menu settings are:

Note: When the switch is set to 1X, the OWON PDS6062S bandwidth is limited to 5MHz. Use 10X to utilize the full bandwidth.

Self-calibration on the OWON PDS6062S helps maintain measurement accuracy. This should be executed if the ambient temperature varies by 5 degrees Celsius or more.

Step 1. Disconnect all probes or wires from the input connectors of the OWON PDS6062S.

Step 2. Press the UTILITY button to call out the FUNCTION menu.

Step 3. Push the F3 menu selection button to choose Perform Self-Calibration.

Step 4. Confirm when prompted; the OWON PDS6062S will start the self-calibration. Do not make contact with any input channels until the process is complete.

To set the coupling for a selected channel on the OWON PDS6062S, press the CH1 MENU or CH2 MENU button, then use the F1 button to switch between coupling modes.

To perform mathematical operations between channels on the OWON PDS6062S:

Step 1. Press the MATH MENU button to call out the WAVE MATH menu.

Step 2. Press the F3 menu selection button to choose the desired operation. The green calculated waveform M will be displayed. Pressing F3 again closes the function.

Supported operations on the OWON PDS6062S include:

To perform an FFT operation with the OWON PDS6062S, ensure the horizontal menu is set to main timebase and not window setting mode:

Step 1. Press F1 to turn on FFT.

Step 2. Press F2 to switch the FFT source between CH1 and CH2.

Step 3. Press F3 to choose the window type (Rectangle, Hamming, Hanning, or Blackman).

Step 4. Press F4 to switch between dB and Vrms for the format.

Step 5. Press F5 to zoom in or out.

The OWON PDS6062S allows saving up to four waveforms.

To save a waveform:

Step 1. Under the WAVE SAVE menu, press F1 to select the source (CH1, CH2, or MATH).

Step 2. Press F2 to select the storage location (A, B, C, or D).

Step 3. Press F3 to save the captured waveform.

To recall a waveform:

Step 1. Activate the WAVE SAVE menu.

Step 2. Press F2 to select the location of the stored waveform.

Step 3. Press F4 to change CH(X) to ON. The stored waveform will appear on the screen.

If there is a waveform displayed on the OWON PDS6062S but it is not stable, follow these troubleshooting steps:

Step 1. Check whether the Source item in the TRIG MODE menu matches the signal channel being used.

Step 2. Check the trigger Type. Select Edge trigger mode for common signals and Video for video signals. A proper trigger mode is required for steady display.

Step 3. Change the trigger coupling to high frequency suppress or low frequency suppress to smooth out noise caused by interference.

To charge the lithium battery of the OWON PDS6062S, connect it to the power source and leave it for 12 hours. The OWON PDS6062S should be turned on during the charging process. Once fully charged, the battery can supply power for up to 4 hours.
