Testing Performance

This section documents performance test procedures. Performance verification for the products covered by this manual consists of three main steps:

• Performing the internal product self-tests to ensure that the measurement system is

functioning properly

• Calibrating the product

• Testing the product to ensure that it is performing to specification

Performance Test Interval

The procedures in this section may be performed for incoming inspection and should be performed periodically to verify that the oscilloscope is operating within specification. The recommended test interval is once per year or after 2000 hours of operation. Performance should also be tested after repairs or major upgrades.

Performance Test Record

A test record form is provided at the end of this section. This record lists performance tests, test limits and provides space to record test results.

Test Order

The tests in this section may be performed in any order desired. However, it is recommended to conduct the tests in the order presented in this manual as this represents an incremental approach to performance verification. This may be useful if you are attempting to troubleshoot a suspected problem.

Test Equipment

Lists of equipment needed to conduct each test are provided for each test procedure. The procedures are written to minimize the number and types of oscilloscopes and accessories required. The oscilloscopes in these lists are ones that are currently available for sale by Agilent at the time of writing this document. In some cases, the test procedures use features specific to the oscilloscopes in the recommended equipment list. However, with some modification to the test procedures, oscilloscopes, cables and accessories that satisfy the critical specifications in these lists may be substituted for the recommended models with some modification to the test procedures.

Contact Agilent Technologies for more information about the Agilent products in these lists.

Difference s in ground potential can be a significant source of measurement error, particularly at high scope sensitivities.

• It also helps to reduce ground potential differences if the scope and the external test os cilloscopes are connected to the same AC supply circuit.

• A fairly large number of aver ages are used in the scope measurements of this section to reduce measurement noise and to reduce the measurement error due to resolution.

Warm up the oscilloscope fo r 30 minute s before sta rti ng cali bratio n procedur e. Failure to al low warm up may result in inaccura te calibration.

The self calibration uses signals generated in the oscilloscope to calibrate channel sensitivity, offsets, and trigger parameters. You should run the self calibration

• yearly, or according to your periodic needs,

• when you replace the acquisition assembly or acquisition hybrids,

• when you replace the hard drive or any other assembly,

• when the oscilloscope’s operating temperature (after the 30 minute warm-up period) is more

than ±5 °C different from that of the last calibration.

Troubleshooting

This section provides troubleshooting information for the Agilent Technologies DSO80000 series oscilloscopes. The service strategy of this oscilloscope is replacement of defective assemblies.

Safety

Read the Safety Summary at the front of this manual before servicing the oscilloscope. Before performing any procedure, review it for cautions and warnings.

WARNING SHOCK HAZARD!

Maintenance should be performed by trained service personnel aware of the hazards involved (for example, fire and electric shock). Lack of training and awareness of the hazards could result in electrical shock. When maintenance can be performed without power applied, the power cord should be removed from the oscilloscope.

WARNING INJURY CAN RESULT!

Use caution when working around the cooling fan with the cover removed from the oscilloscope. The cooling fan blades are exposed on one side and can be hazardous. Install the optional fan safety shield (Agilent Technologies P/N 54810-00601) to protect your fingers from the fan blades.

Tools Required

You will need basic electronic troubleshooting tools, including a digital multimeter, external Atx supply or loopback connector, external monitor, and a 100 MHz oscilloscope. Performance verification tests have more stringent requirements. See chapter 1 for the list of recommended test equipment.

If you need to remove and replace assemblies, you will need some of the hand tools listed in chapter 6, “Replacing Assemblies.”

ESD Precautions

When using any of the procedures in this chapter, you should use proper ESD precautions. As a minimum, you should place the oscilloscope on a properly grounded ESD mat and wear a properly grounded ESD wrist strap.

Keystroke Conventions

To guide you while setting up the oscilloscope, the following conventions are used to represent keystrokes and other interactions with the oscilloscope:

• When you need to issue a command through the graphical interface, the command will be phrased like this: “Select <command> from the <menu name> menu.”

• When you need to click on an object on the graphical interface, the instructions will be phrased something like this: “Click the OK button.”

• When you need to press a key, the instructions will be phrased something like this: “Press the Run key.”

• Press the Default Setup key to set the oscilloscope to the default state.

To install the fan safety shield

1 Disconnect the oscilloscope power cord and remove the cover.

If necessary, refer to the procedures in chapter 6 "Replacing Assemblies".

Clip the fan safety shield over the outside of the oscilloscope chassis next to the fans.

See Figure 5-1.

Chapter 5: Troubleshooting

To troubleshoot the oscilloscope

The troubleshooting procedure is used to isolate problems to a faulty assembly. When you find the faulty assembly, use the disassembly and assembly procedures in chapter 6 to replace the assembly.

The primary procedural tool in this section is the flowchart. The flowchart contains the entire troubleshooting path from a failed oscilloscope to a working one, and will direct you in an orderly manner through the possible failure symptoms. Reference letters on the flowcharts point to procedural steps that explain the brief instructions in the chart.

If you are unfamiliar with this oscilloscope, start with the Primary Trouble Isolation Flowchart.

Power Supply Trouble Isolation

These trouble isolation instructions help isolate the problem to the assembly level when the power system is not operating. Because of advanced power system protection features, the problem may not be with the supply itself, and therefore you will need to work through the procedure systematically to determine the source of the fault.

Check the power supply voltages from the power supply. See Figure 5-5 for the location of these test points. Table 5-1 shows the allowable range of power supply voltages.
