Connector
Input BNCs. The BNC connectors provide the differential input connections to the
preamplifier. These connectors accept coaxial cables, 1X probes, adapters, or other input
leads that terminate with male BNC connectors. Before connecting the inputs, see
page 11.
NOTE.
Avoid using attenuating probes. The slightest difference in attenuation match
greatly lowers the common-mode rejection ratio.

Input Fuses. The input fuses and internal circuitry protect the input circuits from
excessive surge currents. To replace the fuses, see page 54.

Selectable Impedance . Internal jumpers select infinite impedance for measuring signals
with high source impedance. To select the input impedance, see page 12.
Input Coupling Switches. Use the input coupling switches to select the proper mode for
coupling the input signals to the internal inputs of the preamplifier.
The AC position couples the input signal through a capacitor and blocks any DC and AC
components of the signal from 0 to 2 Hz.
GND decouples the signal from the input and couples the internal input of the
preamplifier to ground. This position also precharges the coupling capacitor to the DC
level of the input signal (see page 16).
The DC position couples both AC and DC components of the input signal.
Overrange Indicator. The OVERRANGE indicator lights red when the signal input
exceeds the selected range of the amplifier. If the indicator is on, the output signal is not
a true representation of the input signal(s). See page 16.

Gain Selector. The gain selectors set the gain of the preamplifier to X0.1, X1, X10, or
X100. If the oscilloscope does not display the correct volts per division for each gain
setting, refer to Table 3 on page 10.
Offset Controls. The ON/OFF switch activates the offset controls. The COARSE and
FINE controls provide a maximum of 40 volts offset in the X0.1 and X1 gain settings and
a maximum of 1 volt offset in X10 and X100 gain settings. See page 16.
