1.PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
1-1. Description
The GOS-6103C is a 100MHz, two-channel, dual-sweep, portable oscilloscope for general purpose use. A microprocessor-based operating system controls most of the functions of the instrument, including cursor readout and digitized panel setting. On-screen alphanumeric readout and cursor function for voltage, time, frequency and phase measurement provide extraordinary operational convenience. It also has the function of auto measurement for frequency, period, pulse width and duty cycle. Ten different user defined instrument settings can be saved and recalled without restriction.
The vertical deflection system has two input channels. Each channel has 11 basic deflection factors from 2mV to 5V per division. The horizontal deflection system provides single, dual or delayed sweeps from 0.5s to 50ns per division (delayed sweep, 50ms to 50ns per division). The trigger system provides stable triggering over the full bandwidth of the vertical deflection system.
GOS-6103C OSCILLOSCOPE
USER MANUAL
1-2.Features
Additionally, the oscilloscope offers several other features:
1) High intensity and internal graticule CRT
The oscilloscope employs a high intensity 6-inch retangular type cathode-ray tube with red internal graticule. It displays clear readable traces even at high sweep speeds. Internal graticule lines eliminate parallax-viewing error between the trace and the graticule line.
2) Temperature compensation
The oscilloscope uses a temperature compensation circuit to reduce the drift of base line and DC balance.
3) 20MHz bandwidth limit
When it is hard to observe or trigger a signal because a high-frequency component is superimposed on the signal, use the 20MHz BWL function to reduce the bandwidth of the vertical deflection system and trigger system to 20MHz.
4) Automatic time base range setting
At a press of the AUTORANGE button, an optimum time base range is automatically set to a corresponding change in input signal period. A signal period from 1.6 to 4 cycles approx. is displayed.
5) TV triggering
Exclusive TV sync separator circuit technology provides stable TV signal measurements on fields, frames and lines.
6) Z-axis intensity modulation
For applying a blanking signal from an external source. The trace displayed on the screen may be intensity-modulated where pulse signal or time-scale marks are required.

7) Trigger signal output
The signal selected by the TRIGGER SOURCE is available. This output may be used to connect to a frequency counter or other instrument.
8) Panel setups lock
To avoid unintentional touch of the setting, the feature is extremely useful for long term and repetitive measurements that used to be performed under the same test condition of the oscilloscope setting.
9) LED indicator and buzzer alarm
The LED’s located in the front panel assist operation and indicated additional information. Incorrect operation and the electrical end position of control knobs are indicated by a warning beep.
10)SMD manufacturing technology
The instrument is built by using the most advanced SMD technology so as to reduce the number of internal wiring and shorten the foil route on the pc board. This will also greatly increase the high frequency performance and the reliability of the product.
11)Auto Measurement
A built-in 6 digits universal counter is accurate within the range of
±0.01% and can measure frequency between 50Hz and 100MHz.

(11)TRACE SEP
The instrument contains a trace separate function which is required in the alternate time base mode to separate the DELAY time base trace(s) from the MAIN time base in vertical direction. Consequently this function is only available in alternate time base mode. Press the pushbutton once to have the related LED lighted, the CH1 POSITION control knob is then operated as vertical position control for the trace(s) of the DELAY time base.
(12)ALT/CHOP/ADD-INV
The pushbutton has several functions, which are required and available only when both channels are active.
ALT– Displays in the readout, indicates alternate channel switching.
After each time base sweeps the instrument internally, switches over from channel 1 and channel 2 and vice versa.
CHOP– Indicates chopper mode.
The channel switching occurs constantly between channel 1 and channel 2 during each sweep.
ADD– Displays in the readout, indicates additional mode.
Whether the algebraic sum (addition) or the difference (subtraction) of both input signals is displayed, depends on the phase relationship and the INV setting. As a result, both signals are displayed as one signal.
For correct measurements, the deflection coefficients for both channels must be equal.
INV—Pressing and holding the pushbutton to set the channel 2 invert function on or off. The invert on condition is indicated with a horizontal bar above “CH2” in the readout. The invert function causes the signal display of channel 2 to be inverted by 180 o .

In MAIN time base (MTB) mode, time deflection coefficients between
0.5s/div and 50ns/div can be chosen in 1-2-5 sequence, if the ×10
MAG function is not activated.
During alternate (ALT) and DELAY time base (DTB) operation, the control knob changes the DELAY time base setting in 1-2-5 sequence.
The available deflection coefficient range is from 50ms/div up to
50ns/div (without ×10 MAG), but the availability depends on the
MAIN time base setting. The internal control of the oscilloscope prevents the DELAY time deflection coefficient from becoming higher than the MAIN deflection coefficient, as such an operation condition would make no sense.

(22)MAIN/ALT/DELAY—X-Y – Pushbutton for time base mode selection.
The instrument contains two-time base designated MAIN and DELAY.
With the aid of the DELAY time base, signal parts displayed by the
MAIN time base can be expanded in X-direction. The expansion ratio depends on the time deflection coefficient ratio of both time bases (ie.
“MTB=0.1ms”, “DTB=1 μ s”). With higher expansion ratio the
DELAY time base trace intensity reduces. Each time when press the pushbutton briefly, the time base mode changes in the sequence of
MAIN-ALT-DELAY-MAIN. The actual setting is displayed in the readout.

If the alternate time base mode is selected, the TIME/DIV knob only controls the DELAY time base switch. The alternate time base mode is a sub-function of the DELAY time base mode and both time base traces can be displayed simultaneously. Consequently the readout can display both time deflection coefficient. A window sector which indicates part of signal is also visible on the MAIN trace and is displayed by the DELAY time base.
The window segment can be shifted horizontally by the DELAY TIME control continuously. The difference between the beginning of both the
MAIN time base trace and the window sector shows the delay time.
The information is also displayed in the readout with an approximate value (e.g. “DLY=0.125ms”) related to the calibrated MAIN time

USER MANUAL coefficient (uncalibrated i.e. “DLY>0.125ms”). The width of the window segment decreases when the DELAY time coefficient is set to a lower value (higher time deflection speed).
For better reading, the vertical position of the DELAY time base trace position can be shifted (please note TRACE SEP (11)).
DELAY
In the DELAY time base mode, the display of the MAIN traces, the window sector and the MAIN time coefficient will disappear from the readout. As the trace separation is no longer required under the circumstances, the function would be switched off too. Consequently, only the DELAY time coefficient is displayed by the readout.
X-Y
Switch on or off the X-Y mode by pressing and holding the button. In the X-Y mode, the deflection coefficient is displayed in the readout.
The Y axis input is selected by setting the vertical mode pushbutton to the CH1, CH2 and both modes, and the X axis input is selected by setting the TRIGGER SOURCE pushbutton to the CH1, CH2 and EXT.
(23)H POSITION
The control knob enables a horizontal position shift of the signals. In combination with ×10 MAG the function makes it possible to shift any part of the signal on the screen.
(24)×10 MAG—SETUPS LOCK— Pushbutton has double function and associated MAG LED.
Each time when this pushbutton is pressed, the MAG LED located above will be switch on or off. If the MAG LED is lighted, the signal display in all time base modes will be expanded 10 folds and consequently only a tenth part of the signal curve is visible. The interesting part of the signal can be made visible with the aid of the H.

5-2.Connecting Input Signals
Grounding
The most reliable signal measurements are made when the oscilloscope and the unit under test are connected by a common reference (ground lead) in addition to the signal lead or probe. The ground lead of the probe provides the best grounding method for signal interconnection and ensures the maximum amount of signal-lead shielding in the probe cable.
A separate ground lead (with a banana plug) can also be connected from the unit under test to the oscilloscope ground jack on the front panel.
Probes
A probe provides the most convenient way to connect an input signal to the oscilloscope. The standard ×1/×10 probes supplied to the oscilloscope are shielded against electromagnetic interference and have a high input impedance for low circuit loading.
CAUTION. To get the best waveform precisely, keep probe ground and signal leads as short as possible.
Misadjust probe compensation can cause measurement error. Check and adjust probe compensation whenever a probe is moved to a different channel or oscilloscope. As for the probe compensation adjustment procedure, refer to the “Probe Compensation”.
Coaxial Cables
Signal input cable can greatly affect the accuracy of a displayed waveform. To maintain original frequency characteristics of the input signal, use only high-quality, low-loss coaxial cables. Coaxial cables must be terminated at both ends in their characteristic impedance to prevent signal reflections within the cable. Use suitable impedance-matching devices.

GOS-6103C OSCILLOSCOPE
USER MANUAL
5-6.Measurement Application
The oscilloscope has a cursor measurement system for making accurate, direct-readout voltage, time, frequency and phase measurements. The measurements described in this section are examples of typical applications using this measurement system. After becoming familiar with the controls, indicators, and capabilities of the instrument, you can develop convenient methods to make the special measurement for your own applications.
Proceed a measurement by using the cursor according to the following steps:
1. Pressing and holding the CURSOR FUNCTION-ON/OFF pushbutton to turn on the cursor and measurement readout.
2. Briefly pressing the pushbutton to select the seven measurement function in the sequence as below:
△ V —△V% —△VdB —△T —△T% —1/△T —△Θ —△V
3. If the associated indicator CURSOR POS-LED is lighted, rotate the
C1-POSITION control to position the cursor 1 and rotate the
C2-POSITION control to position the cursor 2.
4. Read the measurement value on the screen. Typical measurement readouts and applications are shown in Figure 5-14. The measurement values are automatically controlled by the VOLTS/DIV and TIME/DIV control settings.

Figure 5-14: Cursor Measurement
(a).Typical △ V (Voltage difference) for AC voltage.
When both CH1 and CH2 are turned on, the measurement value of CH1( △ V1) or
CH2(△V2) can be displayed by pressing and holding the △V1/2 pushbutton.
(b).Typical △V%(Voltage percentage) cursor measurement for overshoot of square waveform.
A voltage percentage measurement is done by first setting a reference for the full scale
(amplitude) waveform: 5div=100%.
(c).Typical △ VdB(voltage gain) cursor measurement for –3dB bandwidth appli-cation.
The percentage reference is: 5div=0db.
The measurement values calculate the voltage gain from the formula:
△VdB=20 log(△Vdiv/5div)
(d).Typical △ T(Time difference) cursor measurement for rise time.
Proceed rise-time or fall-time measurement requiring some additional signal scaling by using the graticale rise-time measurement aids.
Number 0%, 10, 90 and 100 are etched near the left vertical gratical line. Use the following steps as a guideline to in making rise-time measurement:

1. Set the VOLTS/DIV and VAR controls to provide an exact five-division vertical display.
2. Use the vertical POSITION control to control the negative amplitude of the signal on the 0% reference line and the positive amplitude on the 100% reference line.
3. Increase the TIME/DIV setting to stretch out the rising edge of the waveform as much as possible to improve the cursor placement accuracy.
4. Use the C1-POSITION control to align the cursor 1 to the rising edge at the point where it crosses the 10% reference graticule line.
Then use the C2-POISITION control to align the cursor 2 to the point where the rising edge crosses the 90% graticule line and read the rise time displayed in the CRT readout.
(e).Typical 1/△T cursor function for frequency measurement.
When the two cursors are superimposed at two edge points of the one period waveform by the C1-POSITION and C2-POSITION controls, the measurement value is displayed in frequency units on the upper side of the screen.
(f).Typical △ T%(Time difference percentage) cursor function for duty-cycle measurement of square waveform.
A time difference percentage measurement is done by first setting a reference for the full cycle of waveform period: 5div=100%.

(g).Typical △ Θ cursor function for phase measurement.
A phase measurement is done by first setting a reference for the full 360 o waveform period:
5div=360 o .
NOTE. When the VOLTS/DIV or the TIME/DIV controls are in
uncalibrated setting, the △V and △T measurement values will be displayed with divisions.
When the vertical mode is set to the ADD mode, and the CH1 and CH2
VOLTS/DIV controls are set to different scales, the △V measurement values will be displayed with divisions.

6.MAINTENENCE
The following instructions are executed by qualified personnel only. To avoid electrical shock, do not perform any servicing other than the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.
6-1.Fuse Replacement
If the fuse blows, the power lamp indicators will not light and the oscilloscope will not start. The fuse should not normally open unless a problem has developed in the unit. Try to determine and correct the cause of the blown fuse and replace only with a fuse of the correct rating and type on the rear panel.
WARNING . For continued fire protection. Replace fuse only with 250V fuse of the specified type and rating, and disconnect power cord before replacing fuse.
6-2.Line Voltage Conversion
The primary winding of the power transformer is tapped to permit operation from 100, 120, or 230VAC 50/60Hz line voltage. Conversion from one line voltage to another is done by changing the line voltage selector switch as shown in page 7. The rear panel identifies the line voltage to which the unit was factory set. To convert to a different line voltage, perform the following procedure:
(1).Make sure the pow er cord is unplugged.
(2).Adjust the line voltage selector switch to the desired line voltage position.
(3).A change in line voltage may also require a corresponding change of fuse value. Install the correct fuse value as listed on rear panel.
