VT DSO-2810 Manual

This product is designed to be used by those who have some basic electronics and electrical

knowledge. It is absolutely dangerous to connect an unknown external voltage to the VT

DSO unit. Be sure that the voltage to be measured is less than the maximum allowed input

voltage.

1 Installation and Quick Start Guide

This is one of the second-generation USB DSOs designed and developed by Virtins

Technology. This generation of USB DSOs features Virtins Technology’s unique hardware-

based DSP algorithm which enhances the performance and functionality dramatically without

adding extra hardware cost. When used in conjunction with Multi-Instrument®software, the

USB DSO converts any desktop, laptop, or tablet PC into a powerful oscilloscope, spectrum

analyzer, multimeter, data logger, signal generator and so forth, all of which work

simultaneously.

1.1 Package Contents

A standard VT DSO-2810 Package contains the following items:

1) VT DSO unit with a hardware bundled Multi-Instrument Standard software license

2) 2 ×60 MHz Oscilloscope Probe P2060 (Old Tag: P6060) with two switchable positions:

×1, ×10

3) Signal Generator Test Lead (1 m)

4) USB cable (1.5 m)

5) CD (contains the copy-protected Multi-Instrument software and VT DSO driver)

1.2 Multi-Instrument Software Installation

Insert the installation CD into your computer’s CD-ROM drive and follow the instruction on

the screen to install the Multi-Instrument software.

1.3 Hardware Driver Installation

1.3.1 Installation Procedure

The USB cable has one USB A-type connector at one end and one USB B-Type connector at

the other end. The A-type connector should be connected to a USB port of your computer

while the B-type connector should be connected to the DSO.

Starting from Multi-Instrument 3.6, the VT DSO hardware driver will be installed

automatically during software installation, even without the connection of the DSO.

Therefore, the following driver installation procedures are more for manual installation and

troubleshooting purpose.

2) The DSO driver has to be installed manually via Device Manager under Windows

Control Panel. The Device Manager can be accessed from Windows 8 Metro Start Screen

via [Charm Bar]>[Settings]>[Control Panel]>[Hardware and Sound]>[Device Manager].

In the Device Manager window, there will be an Unknown device under Other Device

with a yellow warning symbol to indicate that the driver for the device has not been

installed. Right click on the Unknown device and choose “Update Driver Software…”

on the pop-up menu.
