1. Introduzione
This manual provides essential information for the proper setup, operation, and maintenance of your Tektronix TBS1052B-EDU Digital Oscilloscope. Designed for educational environments and general-purpose applications, this instrument offers reliable performance for waveform visualization and measurement.
2. Impostazione
2.1 Disimballaggio e ispezione
Carefully remove the oscilloscope from its packaging. Inspect the instrument for any signs of damage that may have occurred during transit. Retain the packaging materials for future transport or storage.
2.2 Collegamento di alimentazione
Connect the provided power cord to the AC power inlet on the rear panel of the oscilloscope. Ensure the power source matches the voltage requirements specified on the instrument's label. The power inlet is located on the right side of the rear panel when viewEd da dietro.

3.2 Visualizzazione della forma d'onda di base
To display a waveform:
- Connect a signal source to Channel 1 or Channel 2.
- Premere il tasto Impostazione automatica pulsante. L'oscilloscopio regolerà automaticamente le impostazioni verticali, orizzontali e di trigger per visualizzare una forma d'onda stabile.
- Regolare il Scala verticale (Volt/Div) e Scala orizzontale (Sec/Div) knobs to fine-tune the waveform's appearance.

3.3 Innesco
Il sistema di trigger stabilizza le forme d'onda ripetitive e cattura gli eventi singoli. Utilizzare il Livello trigger manopola per impostare il volumetage level at which the trigger occurs. The Menu di attivazione button provides access to advanced trigger settings like Edge, Pulse Width, and Video triggers.
3.4 Misurazioni e analisi
The TBS1052B-EDU offers various measurement tools:
- Misure automatiche: Premere il tasto Misura button to display a menu of common measurements such as Frequency, Period, Peak-to-Peak Voltage, e RMS.
- Cursori: Utilizzare il Cursore button to activate voltage and time cursors for precise manual measurements.
- Funzioni matematiche: IL Matematica button allows for waveform operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) for frequency domain analysis.
3.5 Salvataggio e richiamo delle impostazioni
IL Salva/Richiama button allows you to save instrument setups and waveforms to internal memory or a USB flash drive. This feature is useful for repeating specific tests or analyzing captured data offline.
4. Manutenzione
4.1 Pulizia dello strumento
To clean the exterior of the oscilloscope, use a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the plastic casing or display. Ensure the instrument is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
4.2 Conservazione
When not in use for extended periods, store the oscilloscope in a dry, dust-free environment, preferably in its original packaging. Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity.
4.3 Calibrazione
For optimal performance, periodic calibration by qualified service personnel is recommended. Refer to the official Tektronix websito o contattare l'assistenza clienti per i servizi di calibrazione.
5. Risoluzione Dei Problemi
This section provides solutions to common issues you might encounter with your TBS1052B-EDU oscilloscope.
| Problema | Possibile causa | Soluzione |
|---|---|---|
| Nessuna forma d'onda visualizzata | No input signal; incorrect vertical/horizontal settings; trigger not set correctly. | Verify signal connection; press Impostazione automatica; regolare Scala verticale, Scala orizzontale, E Livello trigger. |
| Forma d'onda instabile | Trigger level or source incorrect; signal noise. | Regolare Livello trigger; ensure trigger source matches input channel; use averaging if available. |
| Misurazioni errate | Probe compensation incorrect; wrong measurement type selected. | Compensate probes; select appropriate measurement from the Misura menu. |
| Lo strumento non si accende | Cavo di alimentazione non collegato; problema con la presa di corrente. | Controllare il collegamento del cavo di alimentazione; testare la presa di corrente con un altro dispositivo. |
