U2701A/U2702A USB Modular Oscilloscopes User’s Guide

1

Getting  Started

E. Connect the Modular Oscilloscope to Your PC

1

After all the installations have completed, connect the power 
cord to the AC/DC power adapter. The AC/DC power adapter 
requirements are 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, with an output 
voltage of +12 VDC. 

2

Insert the DC output plug from the AC/DC power adapter to 
the power jack on the rear panel of the modular oscilloscope.

3

Connect the modular oscilloscope to any USB port on your 
PC with the bundled USB cable.

4

Your PC will automatically detect the connected unit and the 

Found New Hardware Wizard

 window will appear. Select 

Yes, this 

time only

 and click 

Next

 to proceed.

5

Select 

Install the software automatically (Recommended)

 and click 

Next

.

N O T E

Ensure that the Agilent Measurement Manager is installed before 
proceeding.
