OVERVIEW
The
touch screen display
is the principal viewing and control center of
the oscilloscope. See p.10 for an overview of its components.
The
front panel
houses buttons and knobs that control different
oscilloscope settings. Operate the instrument using front panel controls,
touch screen controls, or a mix that is convenient for you.
Front mounted
host USB 3.1 ports
can be used for transferring data or
connecting peripherals such as a mouse or keyboard.
The
mixed signal interface
connects the digital leadset to input up-to-16
digital lines (on -MS models).
Calibration output terminal
is used to compensate passive probes. The
Ground terminal
may be connected to a grounding wrist strap or the
ground lead on probes.
Channels
1–4 are used to input analog signal. The connectors are
equipped with the new ProBus2 interface, compatible with either legacy
ProBus or new ProBus2 probes. They can also accept a conventional
BNC cable.
Note:
The BNC inputs are rated to 8 GHz but will require a precision
adapter (available from Teledyne LeCroy Service) to accept SMA cables.
The
tilting feet
change the angle of display for easier viewing.
Powering On/Off
Connect the line cord rated for your country to the
AC power inlet
on the
back of the instrument, then plug it into a grounded AC power outlet. (See
Power in “Safety”).
The
Power button
controls the operational state of the oscilloscope.
Press Power to switch on the instrument and load the oscilloscope software.
The LED on the button lights to show the oscilloscope is on. Press it again to
switch “off” (Standby power).
CAUTION.
Do not power on or calibrate the oscilloscope with a
signal attached.
Always use the Power button or the
File > Shutdown
menu option to
execute a proper shut down process and preserve settings.
The Power button does not disconnect the oscilloscope from the AC
power supply; some “housekeeping” circuitry continues to draw power.
The only way to fully power down the instrument is unplug the AC line
cord from the outlet.
CAUTION
. Do not place the instrument so that it is difficult to reach
the power cord in case you need to disconnect from power.
We recommend unplugging the instrument if it will remain unused for a
long period of time.
