FAQ
-
I just got my first Hanmatek scope (HO52 / DOS1102). When I connect the probe to the calibration square wave, I see ringing and overshoot — is my brand-new scope broken?
99 % of the time — no, it’s your probe! That “ringing” on the square-wave edges is almost always caused by poor probe grounding or the probe not being compensated. Quick fix that solves it in 30 seconds: Clip the ground spring (the short black spring that came with the probe) directly to the metal ground tab on the calibration terminal — never use the long alligator lead. Adjust the little trimmer capacitor on the BNC box of your 10× probe with the supplied plastic screwdriver until the square wave is perfectly flat on top with no overshoot or undershoot. Every new Hanmatek owner in 2025 does this once and then never sees ringing again. It’s normal — you’re just calibrating the probe to your specific scope input.

How do I actually measure frequency and duty cycle on my Hanmatek instead of just reading the numbers on screen? I want to be sure it’s accurate.
Super easy — Hanmatek scopes (HO11, HO52, DOS1102, etc.) have the most reliable auto-measure built in: Press the MEASURE button (or AUTO SET first). Select “Add Measurement” → choose Frequency, Period, Duty Cycle, Rise Time, etc. Up to 5 measurements appear at the bottom and update live. Real-world accuracy in 2025: frequency is spot-on within ±0.01 % when the waveform is stable and fills at least 4–5 divisions horizontally. Pro tip: if the numbers are jumping around, press TRIGGER MENU → set Trigger Type to Edge and Source to the channel you’re measuring → adjust the trigger level knob until the trace locks solid. Then the auto-measure becomes rock steady.

Everyone talks about FFT — how do I actually see the frequency spectrum on my Hanmatek to find noise or harmonics?
All current Hanmatek scopes make FFT stupid-simple: On DOS1102 / DOS1202 (benchtop): Press MATH → choose FFT → pick source channel → window type (usually Hanning) → done. On HO52 / HO102 / HO102S (handheld): Press MENU → Math → FFT → select channel → Hanning or Rectangular. Instant tip for clean results in 2025: Set timebase to show at least 5–10 full cycles of your signal Use 10× probe Choose Hanning window for general work Vertical scale in dBV, horizontal in linear or log You’ll immediately see the fundamental spike plus any harmonics or 50/60 Hz mains noise — perfect for finding switching-supply trash or audio distortion.
