OVERVIEW
Connecting to External Devices/Systems
After start up, configure external connections using the menu options
listed below. See the
WaveSurfer 3000z Oscilloscopes Operator’s Manual
for more detailed instructions.
USB Peripherals
Connect the device to one of the host
USB 2.0 ports
on the front or back
of the instrument. Most USB connections are "plug-and-play".
Printer
WaveSurfer 3000z supports PictBridge-compliant printers. Connect
to any
USB 2.0 port
. Go to
Utilities > Utilities Setup > Hardcopy
to
configure printer settings.
External Monitor
WaveSurfer 3000z supports external monitors with 1028 x 600
resolution. Connect the monitor cable to the
VGA video output
on the
back of the instrument. The connection is “plug-and-play” and does
not require any further configuration on the oscilloscope. If necessary,
configure the monitor to receive output.
WaveSource Waveform Generator
Connect a BNC cable from the
WaveSource output
on the back of the
instrument to the signal input device. Go to
Utilities > WaveSource
or
touch the front panel
WaveSource button
to configure the output signal.
Note:
WaveSource is optional and requires an activated license key.
Trigger Out
To send a trigger pulse to another device, connect a BNC cable from the
AUX output
on the back of the instrument to the other device.
LAN
WaveSurfer 3000z is preset to accept DHCP network addressing over a
TCPIP connection. Just connect a cable from the
Ethernet port
on the
back panel to a network access device. Go to
Utilities > Utilities Setup >
Remote
to find the IP address.
To configure a Static IP address, touch
Net Connections
on the Remote
dialog and enter the IP address.
Go to
Utilities > Preference Setup > Email
to configure email settings.
Remote Control
You can control the instrument using the IP address. Be sure the
instrument is on the same subnet as the controller.
To switch to USBTMC control, connect a USB-A/B cable from the
USBTMC port
on the back of the instrument to the controller. Go to
Utilities > Preference Setup > Remote
to change the remote control
setting to USBTMC.
Micro SD Card
The
Micro SD card
acts as the oscilloscope’s removable hard drive. Use it
to store and easily share setup files, waveform trace files, LabNotebooks,
and other data.
To remove the card, push in and release. The card should partially pop out,
at which point it can be pulled out fully.
To replace the card, push it into the slot until you hear it click.
Note:
When using the oscilloscope Disk Utilities, the Micro SD Card is
labeled Storage Card, while a connected USB drive is labeled USB Disk.
