Cautions

The ground probe of the DSO Nano is connected directly to the ground line of the USB port. This means that, when using the Nano with a PC, the PC's ground will be tied to the measurement target's ground. Do not connect the Nano to a circuit and computer simultaneously unless the computer and circuit share a common ground.

Usage

Dso

Structure

Basic Operation

Left/Right buttons are mainly used to navigate through menu items. The selected menu item will be highlighted; its corresponding screen element will blink. Press UP/Down buttons to adjust. The OK button controls display/hide markers or confirm operations.

Pressing A (Run/Stop) Button once will freeze the current display. Press 'A' again to resume. The B (Shift) Button is used for quick functions.

Throughout this text, adjustable items will be labeled in red.

User Interface Overview

The screen is broken into a central display area and 3 operation bars around it. The menu on the top provides the most frequently-used adjustments to signal display. The status bar on the bottom provides precise measurement results and monitoring status. Adjust more advanced functions with the column of function icons on the right.

Zooming on Signals

Move the cursor to the Vertical Scale and Time Base to start exploring the signal display. Press the up/down buttons to adjust the voltage/div or time/div. Each “div” is a grid unit 'division' of the screen; count the divisions to estimate a quick measurement. The vertical scale ranges from 10mV/div to 10V/div. The time base ranges from 1uS/div to 10S/div. Beware that in the larger time bases the display may look frozen, since 10S/div means it takes 120 seconds to refresh whole the screen (12 divs wide).

The waveform might be out of the range of the display even in the appropriate voltage/div setting. You can change the Y position to move the waveform up and down to center the wave onscreen. The Y position marker indicates 0V for your reference.

Press button A to freeze the current display (setting the status to HOLD) and press again to resume refreshing (status RUN). With the status on HOLD, you can select the T0 icon and press the up/down buttons to pan back and forth. Press the OK button to display or hide the X position marker (a yellow dotted vertical line).

Triggering Modes

The Nano has six triggering modes, accessible in the top left corner of the screen. These are:

AUTO: Always refresh the display, and synchronize when triggered.
NORM (al): Display synchronized waveform when triggered, and blank if not triggering.
SING (le): Display triggered waveform and hold, then blank again before triggering.
SCAN: Repeatedly sweep waveform onscreen left to right.
NONE: Refresh unsynchronized waveform ignoring triggering.
FIT: Automatically adjust vertical and horizontal scale to display waveform.

Comparison table of the triggering modes
Mode Trigger Display Waveform Synchronization Example Applications
AUTO Yes Always Yes General use
NORM Yes Triggered Yes Only watch periodic signals
SING Yes Triggered Auto-hold Capture a random pulse
SCAN No Always No Keep monitoring signals
NONE No Always No Watch an unsynchronized waveform
FIT Yes Auto-adjust Yes Easily watch periodic signals

To set the triggering level, move cursor to Vt = ??.?mV and press the up/down buttons. Press OK to display or hide the trigger level markers (horizontal green dotted lines). To fine tune triggering, you may tweak the trigger sensitivity range TR and the trigger type. By default the trigger type is set to up S which means the trigger will fire when the signal crosses from the lower trigger line to the higher line. Down S will likewise trigger on a falling signal edge.

This could prevent mistaken triggering caused by noise, especially while measuring fast low-amplitude signals. If you set the sensitivity to 0, where the two trigger level markers overlap each other, you get level triggering. Please refer to Wikipedia for more informaiton on oscilloscope triggering.

Measurement

Hantek Dso Driver

Auto measurement is useful for quickly exploring signal characteristics. Measurement options include frequency, cycle time, duty cycle, peak voltage, RMS voltage, average voltage and DC voltage. Please note that frequency, cycle time and duty cycle can only be measured while triggering.

To get a more precise measurement, use the measurement markers. T2 and T1 control the time markers, the two vertical dotted lines. A precise time difference between two marker positions is displayed in 'time measure' near bottom of the screen. The V1 marker and V2 marker can be adjusted directly from the 'voltage measure' result panel ('V1-V2=? V') at the bottom center of the screen.

Pressing the OK button in a menu item will hide or show the corresponding line onscreen.

Waveform Storage

Please note : For the device with firmware app2.6, it is not necessary to the execute the third step .

Waveforms can be saved to an SD card or loaded to the display. You need a microSD card to do this (not included). Please note that SDHC cards (high-speed cards larger than 2 GB) are not supported for now. Follow the below steps to set up your microSD card:

  1. Make sure your SD card supports SPI mode. (Most SDHC cards over 2GB do not.
  2. Format your SD card with the FAT16 filesystem.
  3. Create a new file named FILEXXX.DAT in your SDcard root (file size must be bigger than 1KB). Or directly download SrcFileForSave and uncompress it into SD card root.

When the microSD card is prepared, the FS (file save) and FL (file load) icons are enabled. Press the OK button on FS to save a waveform, or on FL to load the waveform from the microSD card.

Signal Generator

The 3.5mm audio jack under the mini USB port is used for the signal generator. It outputs a square wave from 10Hz to 1MHz. Frequency can be adjusted via Fo ('frequency out'). The peak voltage is the same as the supplied power, or approximately 3.7v if powered from battery, and 5v when powered by USB.

Power Supply

The DSO Nano can be powered by the internal 500mAh LiPo battery or by the external mini-USB port. Charging takes about 2 hours 20 minutes to reach 4.12V. A brand-new unit can only run about 1 hour by battery, but the battery life will be extended after the LiPo battery is fully charged.

FAQ

  • What is the maximum input voltage when using a 10x probe on the DSO Nano v2?

The maximum input voltage could be 80Vpp. So when using a 10x probe on the Nano DSO, it could be 800 Vpp. However, we did not test that, and we are not responsible for any damage and injury because of measuring high voltage.

  • What is the difference between APP Ver2.6 and APP Ver2.4 ?

Firmware for APP Ver2.4 and APP Ver2.6 are different files in format. Firmware for APP Ver2.4 of LIB format suffixe is compatible with Nano which with DFU Ver2.0. Firmware for APP Ver2.6 of HEX format suffixe is compatible with Nano which with DFU Ver3.0. Besides, APP Ver2.6 is more humanized, you could directly save wavaform to SD Card as file in DAT format or PNG format.

USB BitScopes require the installation of a driver when first used with Windows.

This usually happens automatically when you first connect your BitScope.

However you may need to install the driver manually if:

  • Your PC is not connected to the Internet,
  • You are using Windows XP or Vista (not recommended!),
  • You are using Windows 7 Starter or Home Edition,
  • The automated windows installer fails for some other reason.

You may then need to configure the software to use the correct COM Port.

To optimize performance in Windows we recommend reducing the driver latency.

For more information about all this, read below or click through these links:

  • Automatic Driver Installation which is the usual case for most people.
  • Manual Driver Installation if automatic installation did not work for you!
  • Which COM Port was assigned by Windows when you installed the driver?
  • Choose the correct COM Port if it's not already automatically selected.
  • Use Windows Device Manager if Windows prevents you accessing devices.
  • Reduce Driver Device Latency to improve your BitScope performance.
  • Troubleshooting USB if your BitScope still cannot not connect to your PC.

Of course, email us anytime at support@bitscope.com if you need assistance!

In most cases, there is nothing to do, just plug in the BitScope.

The following pop-up should appear at the bottom right of the desktop.

Its appearance may differ a little depending on the edition and version of Windows 7 or 8 you are using (The remainder of this tutorial uses Windows 7) To observe progress click the pop-up dialog to reveal:

When the installation completes you will see:

Take note of the COM Port identifier (COM3 in this example) as you may need it later.

If the automatic installer failed you may see this:

In this case you will need to UNPLUG YOUR BITSCOPE and download the driver:

and when complete, run it:

You will be asked to extract it:

and then install it:

which may take some time to complete:

When the installation is complete you may see this dialog:

Dso Driver Jobs

Take note of the COM Port identifier (COM3 in this example) as you may need it later.

Sometimes it's necessary to learn the device properties for a USB BitScope.

The most common reason is to see the COM Port number Windows has assigned when the driver was installed (if you forgot to take note of it at the time).

Select Devices and Printers:

Find the BitScope (it should be listed) and select properties:

and then select the Hardware Tab:

Here you can see the COM Port number (COM3 in this example).

If only one USB BitScope is connected choosing the COM Port is unecessary

All BitScope Applicationsautomatically connect with that one BitScope.

However, if more than one BitScope is connected or there are other FTDI COM Port devices connected to your PC (e.g. a serial mouse), you may need to configure the software to use the correct COM Port.

This can be done with most BitScope Apps. With DSO click SETUP:

and choose the correct COM Port (COM3 in this example) and Click OK:

Doing this with one BitScope Application sets the port used for all applications so you won't need to do this again.

In the case of DSO, click POWER to start the application:

Note that COM3 is reported at the bottom of the application. If the selected COM Port does not appear here, you are not connected to your BitScope (troubleshooting).

Windows may throw up a roadblock when trying to view the COM port or adjust the device properties when accessed the more direct way.

In this case you may need to use Device Manager to access the device properties.

First select the Computer Properties:

and then choose the Device Manager:

From the Device Manager, find the USB Serial Port:

(which is COM3 in this example) and right-click to open the device properties:

BitScope prefers the shortest USB latency to achieve the highest performance.

Unfortunately Windows 7 & 8 install the driver with a long latency by default.

Reduce the latency value to significantly improve performance when talking to a USB BitScope with Windows 7 or 8.

After installing the USB driver, select the device properties and then choose the properties for the COM port assigned to your BitScope (COM3 in this example):

Select the Port Settings tab and click Advanced:

At this point you may be told:

If so, you will need to access the Port Settings tab via the Device Manager instead (this is due to a bug in many editions of Windows 7 and 8).

Whether you've used Device Manager or this route you should then see:

Change the default latency (16 ms) to 1 ms:

Click OK to accept the new value.

You may then need to restart Windows for the new value to take effect.

If you have successfully installed the driver but still you cannot connect:

  • Be sure to download and use the latest versions of BitScope Software.
  • Temporarily disconnect any other USB Serial devices from your PC.
  • Check which COM port Windows assigned when you installed the driver.
  • Be sure to chose the same COM portvia the BitScope Software setup dialog.
  • Check your BitScope is powered on (the red LED on the back should be lit).
  • Confirm your power supply is good (for externally powered BitScope models).
  • Try connecting directly your PC's USB port if you're using a USB Hub.
  • Connect via a different USB port possibly using a different USB cable.
  • Try a different PC and/or other software to rule out PC based problems.

If you can connect but there are still problems:

  • If BitScope DSO reports OFFLINEcheck the selected COM port is correct.
  • If BitScope DSO reports SYDNEYcheck the selected COM port is correct.
  • If your BitScope seems to be slow to respond reduce the driver latency.
  • If it's slow to connect make sure the correct COM port is listed first.

If you still have problems, especially if you are upgrading from older software versions, the configuration files used by the application software may have been corrupted.

The file most likely to cause problems (if corrupt) is the probe file.

The Local Probe File (details)

On Windows 7 & 8 the local probe file is located at:

or on older versions of Windows:

where <user> is your logged in user name on your PC.

Delete this file to force the software to recreate it with correct information.

So You Want To Be A School Bus Driver

The Global Probe File (details)

So God Made An Auger Cart Driver

There is another globally configurable probe file. This is unlikely to be corrupt but if you suspect it is, and you have adminstrator privileges on your PC to modify it, you can delete (or comment out) its contents (don't delete the file itself). It is highly unlikely you will need to do this but we mention it here as a last resort.

None of this works for you? Email us at support@bitscope.com for assistance!
