Enable the Channel
The SHS800X/SHS1000X provides 2 analog input channels and each channel
shares the same vertical control system. Since the vertical system setting
methods of each channel is the same, this chapter uses CH1 as an example tointroduce the setting method of the vertical system.
Connect the signal to the CH1 channel connector; and then press the CH1 buttonin the vertical control area (VERTICAL) on the front panel to enable CH1.
The channel setting menu and the channel information bar are displayed at thebottom of the screen.
After the channel is turned on, modify the parameters such as the vertical scale,the horizontal time base and the trigger mode according to the input signal to
make the waveform display easy to observe and measure.

Note: to turn off the channel, press the channel button twice.

Adjust Scale
The vertical scale can be adjusted in Coarse or Fine mode.
 Coarse adjustment (take counterclockwise as an example): set the verticalscale in 1-2-5 step namely 2 mV/div, 5 mV/div, 10 mV/div …10 V/div.
Fine adjustment: further adjust the vertical scale within a relatively smaller
range to improve vertical resolution. For example: 2 V/div, 1.98V/div,
1.96V/div, 1.94 V/div …1 V/div.
 If the amplitude of the input waveform is a little bit greater than the full scale
under the current scale and the amplitude would be a little bit lower if thenext scale is used, fine adjustment can be used to improve the amplitude of
waveform display to view signal details.
Press the CH1 button on the front panel; then press the Adjust soft key to selectthe desired mode. Press the Vertical Scale button to adjust the vertical scale (V toincrease the scale and mV to reduce).
The scale information in the channel information bar at the bottom of the screen
will change accordingly during the adjustment process. The adjustable range ofthe vertical scale is related to the probing ratio currently set. By default, the probe
attenuation factor is 1X and the adjustable range of the vertical scale is from 2
mV/div to 100 V/div.

Overview
To understand the oscilloscope's sampling and acquisition modes, it is helpful tounderstand sampling theory, sample rate and oscilloscope bandwidth andsample rate.

Sampling Theory
The Nyquist sampling theorem states that for a limited bandwidth (band- limited)signal with maximum frequency fMAX, the equally spaced sampling frequency fS
must be greater than twice the maximum frequency fMAX, in order to uniquely
reconstruct the signal without aliasing.

Sample Rate
The maximum sample rate of the oscilloscope is 1GSa/s. The actual sample rateof the oscilloscope is determined by the horizontal scale. Press the Horizontal
Scale Button to adjust the sample rate.
The actual sample rate is displayed in the information area at the bottom rightcorner of the screen.
The effect of low sampling rate on the waveform:
1.

Waveform Distortion: when the sample rate is too low, some waveform
details are lost and the waveform displayed is quite different from the actual
signal.

SHS800X&SHS1000X User Manual
2.

Waveform Confusion: when the sample rate is lower than twice the actual
signal frequency (Nyquist Frequency), the waveform frequency reconstructedfrom the sample data is lower than the actual signal frequency. The mostcommon aliasing is the jitter on fast edge.

3.

Waveform Leakage: when the sample rate is too low, the waveformreconstructed from the sample data cannot reflect all the actual signal
information.

Bandwidth and Sample Rate
An oscilloscope's bandwidth is typically described as the lowest frequency atwhich the input sinusoidal signal is attenuated by 3 dB (- 30% amplitude error).
Under the bandwidth frequency, the required sampling rate is fS = 2fBW according
to the sampling theory. However, the theory assumes that there are no frequency
components above fMAX (fBW in this case) in the system, which means that it
requires a system with an ideal brick wall frequency response.

37

SHS800X&SHS1000X User Manual

In fact, digital signals have frequency components above the fundamental
frequency (a square wave is composed of a sine wave of the fundamental
frequency and numerous odd harmonics), and generally, for oscilloscopes with abandwidth of 500 MHz and below, the system has a Gaussian frequency
response.

Therefore, the sampling frequency of the oscilloscope should be four or moretimes the bandwidth frequency: fS = 4fBW. In this way, there is less aliasing, andthe components in the aliasing area are attenuated a lot.

Memory Depth
Memory depth refers to the number of waveform points that the oscilloscope canstore in a single trigger sample and it reflects the storage ability of the sample
memory.
Press the Acquire button on the front panel; press the Mem Depth softkey andthen turn the Universal Knob to select the desired value and push down the knob
to confirm. Press the Mem Depth softkey continually can also select the desired
value.
The actual memory depth is displayed in the information area at the bottom rightcorner of the screen. Since the oscilloscope has two acquisition memories, when
only one channel is on, the maximal memory depth is up to 12 Mpts.
The maximum storage depth in single channel mode is twice that in dual channel
mode, as shown in the following table:

Interpolation Method
Under real-time sampling, the oscilloscope acquires the discrete sample valuesof the waveform being displayed. In general, a waveform of dots display type isvery difficult to observe. In order to increase the visibility of the signal, the digital
oscilloscope usually uses the interpolation method to display a waveform.
The interpolation method is a processing method to “connect all the sampling
points”, and using some points to calculate the whole appearance of the
waveform. For real-time sampling interpolation method is used, even if theoscilloscope in a single captures only a small number of sampling points. The
oscilloscope can use the interpolation method to fill out the gaps between points
and reconstruct an accurate waveform.
Press the Acquire button on the front panel to enter the ACQUIRE Function menu;
then press the Interpolation softkey to select Sinx/x or X.


X: In the adjacent sample points are directly connected on a straight line.
This method is only confined to rebuild on the edge of signals, such as asquare wave.

Sinx/x: Connecting the sampling points with curves has stronger versatility.
Sinx interpolation method uses mathematical processing to calculate resultsin the actual sample interval. This method bending signal waveform, andmake it produce a more realistic regular shape than pure square wave andpulse. When the sampling frequency is 3 to 5 times the bandwidth frequencyof the system. Recommended Sinx/s interpolation method.

Peak Detect
In this mode, the oscilloscope acquires the maximum and minimum values of thesignal within the sample interval to get the signal's envelope or the narrow pulseof the signal that might be lost. In this mode, signal confusion can be prevented
but the noise displayed would be larger.
In this mode, the oscilloscope can display all the pulses with pulse widths at leastas wide as the sample period.

Average
In this mode, the oscilloscope averages the waveforms from multiple samples toreduce the random noise of the input signal and improve the vertical resolution.
The greater the number of averages is, the lower the noise and the higher thevertical resolution will be. Still, the slower the response of the displayed
waveform to the waveform changes will be.

ERES
This mode uses a kind of ultra-sample technique to average the neighboring
points of the sample waveform to reduce the random noise on the input signal
and generate much smoother waveforms on the screen. ERES mode is generally
used when the sample rate of the digital converter is higher than the storage rateof the acquisition memory.
ERES mode can be used on single-shot and repetitive signals and does not slow
waveform updates. This mode limits the oscilloscope's real- time bandwidth
because it effectively acts like a low- pass filter.

Note: “Average” and “ERES” mode use different averaging methods. The
former uses “Waveform Average” and the latter uses “Dot Average”.

YT
It is the normal viewing mode for the oscilloscope. In the Normal time mode,
signal events occurring before the trigger are plotted to the left of the trigger
point and signal events after the trigger plotted to the right of the trigger point.
XY
XY mode changes the display from a volt- versus- time display to a volt- versusvolt display. Channel 1 amplitude is plotted on the X- axis and Channel 2
amplitude is plotted on the Y- axis, the two channels will be turned on or off
together.
You can use XY mode to compare frequency and phase relationships between
two signals. XY mode can also be used with transducers to display strain versus
displacement, flow versus pressure, volts versus current, or voltage versus
frequency.
The phase deviation between two signals with the same frequency can be easily
measured via Lissajous method. The figure below shows the measurement
schematic diagram of the phase deviation

According to sinθ=A/B or C/D (wherein, θ is the phase deviation angle between
the two channels and the definitions of A, B, C, and D are as shown in the figure
above), the phase deviation angle is obtained, that is: θ=±arcsin (A/B) or ±arcsin
(C/D)

If the principal axis of the ellipse is within quadrant I and III, the phase deviation
angle obtained should be within quadrants I and IV, namely within (0 to π/2) or(3π/2 to 2π). Suppose the principal axis of the ellipse is within quadrant II and IV.
In that case, the phase deviation angle obtained should be within quadrant II and
III, namely within (π/2 to π) or (π to 3π/2).

Trigger
For trigger, you set certain trigger condition according to the requirement. Whena waveform in the waveform stream meets this condition, the oscilloscope
captures this waveform and the neighboring part and displays them on thescreen. Still, the digital oscilloscope displays waveform continuously no matter
whether it is stably triggered, but only stable trigger can ensure stable display.
The trigger circuit ensures that every time base sweep or acquisition starts fromthe input signal and the user-defined trigger condition. Every sweep is
synchronous to the acquisition and the waveforms acquired overlap to display
stable waveform.
The following is the schematic diagram of the acquisition memory. As shown in
the figure below, the position of the trigger event is determined by the referencetime point and the delay setting.

Trigger setting should be based on the features of the input signal, thus you needto have some knowledge of the signal under test to quickly capture the desired
waveform.
The oscilloscope provides abundant advanced trigger functions which can help
you to focus on the desired waveform details. These trigger types are edge, slope,
pulse, video, window, interval, dropout, runt, pattern and serial trigger. This
chapter will mainly introduce all these trigger functions mentioned above indetail and tell you how to set the trigger conditions to capture the desired
waveform.

Trigger Mode
The SHS800X/SHS1000X’s trigger mode includes auto, normal, single and Force.
Trigger mode affects how the oscilloscope searches for the trigger
After the oscilloscope starts running, the oscilloscope operates by first filling the
pre-trigger buffer. It starts searching for a trigger after the pre-trigger buffer isfilled and continues to flow data through this buffer while it searches for thetrigger. While searching for the trigger, the oscilloscope overflows the pre-trigger
buffer and the first data put into the buffer is first pushed out (First Input First Out,
FIFO).
When a trigger is found, the pre- trigger buffer contains the events that occurred
before the trigger. Then, the oscilloscope fills the post- trigger buffer anddisplays the acquisition memory.
Press the Trigger Setup button and Mode softkey to select the desired triggermode.
 In the Auto trigger mode (the default setting), if the specified trigger
conditions are not found, triggers are forced and acquisitions are made so
hat signal activity is displayed on the oscilloscope.
The Auto trigger mode is appropriate when: Checking DC signals or signals with unknown levels or activity.
 When trigger conditions occur often enough that forced triggers areunnecessary.
In the Normal trigger mode, triggers and acquisitions only occur when thespecified trigger conditions are found. Otherwise, the oscilloscope holds theoriginal waveform and waits for the next trigger.
The Normal trigger mode is appropriate when: You only want to acquire specific events specified by the trigger settings.
 Triggering on an infrequent signal from a serial bus (for example, I2C,
SPI, CAN, LIN, etc.) or another signal that arrives in bursts. The Normal
trigger mode lets you stabilize the display by preventing the oscilloscopefrom auto- triggering.

In the Single trigger mode, the oscilloscope waits for a trigger, displays the
waveform when the trigger condition is met, and stops.
The Single trigger mode is appropriate when:

The oscilloscope provides 4 kinds of trigger coupling modes:







DC: allow DC and AC components into the trigger path.
AC: block all the DC components and attenuate signals lower than 8 Hz. Use
AC coupling to get a stable edge trigger when your waveform has a large DC
offset.
LF Reject: block the DC components and reject the low frequency
components lower than 2 MHz. Low frequency reject removes unwanted low
frequency components from a trigger waveform, such as power line
frequencies, etc. that can interfere with proper triggering. Use LF Reject
coupling to get a stable edge trigger when your waveform has low frequency
noise.
HF Reject: reject the high frequency components higher 1.2 MHz)

Note: trigger coupling has nothing to do with the channel coupling.

Trigger Holdoff
Trigger holdoff can be used to stably trigger the complex waveforms (such as
pulse series). Holdoff time is the amount of time that the oscilloscope waits
before re-arming the trigger circuitry. The oscilloscope will not trigger until the
holdoff time expires.
Use the holdoff to trigger repetitive waveforms with multiple edges (or otherevents) between waveform repetitions. You can also use holdoff to trigger on thefirst edge of a burst when you know the minimum time between bursts.
For example, to get a stable trigger on the repetitive pulse burst below, set theholdoff time to be >200 ns but <600 ns.

The correct holdoff setting is typically slightly less than one repetition of the
waveform. Set the holdoff to this time to generate a unique trigger point for arepetitive waveform. Only edge trigger and serial trigger have holdoff option.
The holdoff time of the oscilloscope is adjustable from 80ns to 1.5s.

Window Trigger
Windows trigger provides a high trigger level and a low trigger level. The
instrument triggers when the input signal passes through the high trigger level or
the low trigger level.
There are two kinds of window types: Absolute and Relative. They have different
trigger level adjustment methods. Under Absolute window type, the lower andthe upper trigger levels can be adjusted respectively via the Level knob; under
Relative window type, adjust the Center value to set the window center; adjust
the Delta value to set the window range, the lower and the upper trigger levels
always move together.



If the lower and the upper trigger levels are both within the waveform
amplitude range, the oscilloscope will trigger on both rising and fallingedge.
Suppose the upper trigger level is within the waveform amplitude range
while the lower trigger level is out of the waveform amplitude range. In thatcase, the oscilloscope will trigger on rising edge only.

Pattern Trigger
The Pattern trigger identifies a trigger condition by looking for a specified pattern.
The pattern trigger can be expanded to incorporate delays similar to othertriggers. Pattern durations are evaluated using a timer. The timer starts on thelast edge that makes the pattern “true”. Potential triggers occur on the firstedge that makes the pattern false, provided that the time qualifier criterion has
been met. The oscilloscope provides 4 patterns: logical AND, OR, NAND and NOR
combination of the channels. Each channel can set to low, high or invalid.

Do the following steps to set pattern trigger:
1. Press the Trigger Setup button on the front panel to enter the TRIGGER
function menu.
2. Press the Type softkey; turn the Universal Knob to select Pattern, and thenpush down the knob to confirm.
3. Press the Source softkey to select channel, and then press the level typesoftkey to select Don’t care, High or Low.
 Low sets the pattern to low on the selected channel. A low is a voltage
level that is less than the channel's trigger level or threshold level.
 High sets the pattern to high on the selected channel. A high is a voltage
level that is greater than the channel's trigger level or threshold level.
 Don’t care sets the pattern to don't care on the selected channel. Anychannel set to don't care is ignored and is not used as part of the pattern.
 However, if all channels in the pattern are set to Don’t care, theoscilloscope will not trigger.



Start Condition— the oscilloscope will be triggered when SDA signaltransitions from high to low while the SCL clock is high. If it is chosen as thetrigger condition (including frame triggers), a restart will be treated as a“Start condition”.
Stop Condition— the oscilloscope will be triggered when SDA transitions
from low to high while the SCL is high.

Restart— the oscilloscope will be triggered when another “Start condition”
occurs before a “Stop condition”.
No Ack— the oscilloscope will be triggered when SDA data is high during any
SCL’s ACK bit.
EEPROM — the trigger searches for EEPROM control byte (the value is 1010xxx)
on the SDA bus. And there is a Read bit and an ACK bit behind EEPROM. Using
Limit Range softkey to set the qualifier and Data1 softkey to set the data’svalue. If EEPROM’s data is greater(less, equal) than Data1, the oscilloscope
will be triggered at the edge of ACK bit behind Data byte. The Data byte
musts don’t have to follow the EEPROM.

FFT is used to compute the fast Fourier transform using analog input channels.
FFT takes the digitized time record of the specified source and transforms it to thefrequency domain. When the FFT function is selected, the FFT spectrum is plottedon the oscilloscope display as magnitude in dBV versus frequency. The readout
for the horizontal axis changes from time to frequency (Hertz) and the verticalreadout changes from V to dB.
FFT operation can facilitate the following works:
 Measure harmonic components and distortion in the device under test Measure the characteristics of the noise in DC power Analyze vibration

Differentiate
d/dt (differentiate) calculates the discrete time derivative of the selected source.

di =y (i+dx) – y(i)dxWhere:
 d = differential waveform y = voltage value of data point
 i = data point index
 dx = point- to- point time difference
The dx option under d/dt math function operation menu indicates data points.
The minimum value is 4, and the unit is points.

Figure 73 Difference Function Operation
You can use differentiate to measure the instantaneous slope of a waveform. For
example, the slew rate of an operational amplifier may be measured using thedifferentiate function

Note: Because differentiation is very sensitive to noise, it is helpful to set
acquisition mode to Average.

Integrate
dt (integrate) calculates the integral of the selected source. You can use integrate
to calculate the energy of a pulse in volt- seconds or measure the area under awaveform.
dt plots the integral of the source using the "Trapezoidal Rule". The equation is:n

I n  c0  t  yii 0Where:
 I = integrated waveform Δt = point- to- point time difference y = channel 1, 2, 3, or 4 data points
 co = arbitrary constant i = data point index
The integrate operator provides an Offset softkey that lets you enter a DC offset
correction factor for the input signal. Small DC offset in the integrate function
input (or even small oscilloscope calibration errors) can cause the integrate
function output to "ramp" up or down. This DC offset correction lets you level the
integrate waveform.

Cursors
Cursors are horizontal and vertical markers that indicate X- axis values and Yaxis values on a selected waveform source. You can use cursors to make custom
voltage, time measurements on oscilloscope signals.

X Cursors
X cursors are vertical dashed lines that adjust horizontally and can be used tomeasure time (when the source is FFT waveform, X cursors measure frequency).
X1 cursor is the left (default position) vertical dotted line; it can be moved to any
place of the screen.
X2 cursor is the right (default position) vertical dotted line; it can be moved to any
place of the screen.
Use the Universal Knob to set the X1 and X2 cursor values and the values are
displayed in the cursors box in the upper-left corner of the screen along with thedifference between X1 and X2 (△T) and 1/△T.
When set cursor type to X2-X1, use Universal Knob will move the X1 and X2
cursors together. The value under the menu option is the difference between the
X1 and X2 cursors.

Y Cursors
Y cursors are horizontal dotted lines that adjust vertically and can be used tomeasure voltage (V) or current (A). When the cursors source is the math function,
the unit will match the math function.
Y1 cursor is the top (default position) horizontal dotted line; it can be moved toany vertical place of the screen.
Y2 cursor is the down (default position) horizontal dotted line; it can be moved toany vertical place of the screen.

Troubleshooting
The commonly encountered failures and their solutions are listed below. When you
encounter those problems, please solve them following the corresponding steps. If
the problem remains still, please contact SIGLENT Company as soon as possible.
1.

The screen is still dark (no display) after power on:
1) Check whether the power is correctly connected.
2) Check whether the power switch is really on.
3) Check whether the fuse is burned out. If the fuse needs to be changed,
please use the specified fuse.
4) Restart the instrument after finishing the above inspections.
5) If it still does not work correctly, please contact SIGLENT.

2.

The signal is sampled but no waveform of the signal is displayed:
1) Check whether the probe is correctly connected to the signal connecting
wire.
2) Check whether the signal connecting wire is correctly connected to the BNC(namely channel connector).
3) Check whether the probe is correctly connected to the item to be tested.
4) Check whether there are signals generated from the item to be tested (youcan connect the probe compensation signal to the problematic channel todetermine which has problem, the channel or the item to be tested).
5) Resample the signal.

3.

The tested voltage amplitude is greater or lower than the actual value (notethat this problem usually occurs when probe is used):
Check whether the attenuation coefficient of the channel complies with theattenuation ratio of the probe.

4.

There is waveform display but not stable:
1) Check the trigger signal source: check whether the Source item at thetrigger panel complies with the signal channel actually used.
2) Check the trigger type: general signals should use “Edge” trigger andvideo signal should use “Video” trigger. Only when the proper trigger
type is used, can the waveform be displayed stably.
3) Change the trigger holdoff setting.

5.

No display after pressing Run/Stop:
Check whether the mode at the trigger panel (TRIGGER) is on “Normal” or
204

WWW.SIGLENT.COM

SHS800X&SHS1000X User Manual“Single” and whether the trigger level exceeds the waveform range. If yes,
set the trigger level to the middle or set the mode to “Auto”.
Note: using AUTO could automatically finish the above setting.
6.

The display of waveform is ladder-like:1) The horizontal time base might be too low. Increase the horizontal timebase to increase the horizontal resolution and improve the display.
2) If the display Type is “Vectors”, the lines between the sample points may
cause ladder-like display. Set Type to “Dots” to solve the problem.

7.

Fail to connect PC through USB:
Check the IO Setting in Utility to ensure whether the USB device setting matches
the device currently connected. If needed, restart the oscilloscope.

8.

The USB storage device cannot be recognized:
1) Check whether the USB storage device can work normally.
2) Make sure whether the USB interface can work normally.
3) Make sure that the USB storage device being used is flash storage type.
This oscilloscope does not support hardware storage type.
4) Restart the instrument and then insert the USB storage device to check it.
5) If the USB storage device still cannot be used normally, please contact
SIGLENT.

9.

The multimeter measurements aren’t correct:
1) Check that if the range of the SHS800X/SHS1000X matches with themeasured item.
2) Make sure that if the multimeter is beyond the calibration date. If themeasurements and real values are beyond the relevant precision, pleasecontact the calibration site warranted by the SIGLENT company to calibrate
the SHS800X/SHS1000X.
3) If you can’t use the SHS800X/SHS1000X normally all the same, pleasecontact SIGLENT.
