SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This chapter contains important safety
instructions that you must follow during
operation and storage. Read the following before

the instrument in the best possible condition.
Safety Symbols
These safety symbols may appear in this manual or on the GDS2000A.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
As the colours of the wires in main leads may not correspond with
the coloured marking identified in your plug/appliance, proceed
as follows:
The wire which is coloured Green & Yellow must be connected to
the Earth terminal marked with either the letter E, the earth symbol
or coloured Green/Green & Yellow.
The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter N or coloured Blue or Black.
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the
terminal marked with the letter L or P or coloured Brown or Red.
If in doubt, consult the instructions provided with the equipment
or contact the supplier.
This cable/appliance should be protected by a suitably rated and
approved HBC mains fuse: refer to the rating information on the
equipment and/or user instructions for details. As a guide, a cable
of 0.75mm2 should be protected by a 3A or 5A fuse. Larger
conductors would normally require 13A types, depending on the
connection method used.
Any exposed wiring from a cable, plug or connection that is
engaged in a live socket is extremely hazardous. If a cable or plug is
deemed hazardous, turn off the mains power and remove the cable,
any fuses and fuse assemblies. All hazardous wiring must be
immediately destroyed and replaced in accordance to the above
standard.
GETTING STARTED
This chapter describes the GDS-2000A in a
nutshell, including its main features and front /
rear panel introduction. After going through the
overview, follow the Set Up section to properly
set up the oscilloscope for first time use. The Set
Up section also includes a starter on how to use
this manual effectively.

Automatic Measurement
The automatic measurement function measures and updates major
items for Voltage/Current, Time, and Delay type measurements.
Measurements can be made with both the analog channels and the
digital channels*, however the digital channels are only limited to a
select number of time measurements. *Logic analyzer option
needed for digital channels.

Cursor Measurement
Horizontal or vertical cursors are used to show the position and
values of waveform measurements and math operation results.
These results cover voltage, time, frequency and other math
operations. When the cursors (horizontal, vertical or both) are
activated, they will be shown on the main display unless turned off.

HARDCOPY KEY
The Hardcopy key is used as quick-save or quick-print key. The
Hardcopy key can be assigned either to printout screenshots or to
save files.
When assigned to Print the screen image can be printed to a
PictBridge compatible printer using the USB device port. To reduce
the amount of printer ink used for each print, images can be
printed using the Ink Saver function.
When assigned to Save, pressing the Hardcopy key can be used
to save a screen shot, a waveform, or the current setup, depending
on the configuration.
