Power the oscilloscope

Required

Use a regulated 9 V DC adapter with a center-positive 5.5 × 2.1 mm plug and a current rating above 200 mA.

Bench checks

  • Verify the polarity and the unloaded adapter voltage before inserting the plug. The kit accepts 8–12 V DC.
  • Power on with the BNC probe disconnected and set coupling to GND. Confirm that the display starts and shows a steady zero trace.

Connection scenarios

Measure a 1.5 V cell

Set DC coupling and start at 1 V/div with a ×1 probe. Connect a single loose 1.5 V cell directly to the probe clips.

Measure a 1.5 V cell1.5 V+−J1 centerJ1 shell

Bench checks

  • Record the zero position with coupling set to GND, then return the switch to DC.
  • The trace moves upward from zero by the cell voltage divided by the volts-per-division setting. Compare the displayed reading with a multimeter if you have one.

Highlighted contacts are used in the required step or selected circuit. Select a contact to inspect it.

J1 BNC input
Viewed into the input socket. The center is the signal.
J10 DC barrel jack
Viewed into the DC jack. The center is positive. J10 is beside the power header on the PCB.
J9 alternate DC header
PCB pin numbers from the schematic. Use one power entry at a time.
J2 test output
One exposed test contact. Both PCB pads of the terminal carry the same signal.
