The UEI ADL-7100, also sold as the Sun LS-2000, is a powerful lab scope. It has a high screen resolution and fast screen update.

Lab scope

  • Set input coupling:
    • Select button on right margin for channel 1 (or 2, whichever your probe is in).
    • Select DC input coupling.
  • Set volts per division setting. Start by using the value that correspond directly to the current probe calibration setting you desire:

  • Locate the VOLT/DIVISION control at the bottom of the instrument, and make the selected adjustment (100mV is the same as 0.1V).
  • This instrument allows for the vertical adjustment of the 0 volts line. To set the vertical positioning, locate the button next to the volt per division setting. Position the 0 volt line at the bottom of the screen aligned with a horizontal graticule line.
  • Set the TIME/DIVISION setting according to the circuit to be tested. 5ms/division is a good general starting point.
  • Once the signal is on display, set the trigger:
    • NOTE: Signal for trigger is channel 1. Therefore, if you are only using the current probe, the probe must be onto channel 1.
    • Press the trigger button on the right of the screen.
    • A menu appears: AUTO, NORM (GLITCH), SINGLE, and SLOPE. Start with AUTO (automatically update). Later you may wish to set to NORM (update only when signal reaches trigger requirements).
    • Next, select SLOPE and note the slope indicator at the bottom of the screen. Set to POSITIVE (+).
    • Find the LEVEL ADJUSTMENT just to the left of the TIME/DIV control. Set the screen indicator just above 0 volts.
  •  Ready to go!
