channels, the analog channel topics in this book apply to all instruments.
Whenever a topic discusses the digital channels, that information applies only to
Mixed-Signal Oscilloscope (MSO) models or DSO models that have been
upgraded to an MSO.
Abbreviated instructions for pressing a series of keys
Instructions for pressing a series of keys are written in an abbreviated manner.
Instructions for pressing Key1, then pressing Softkey2, then pressing Softkey3 are
abbreviated as follows:
Press [Key1] & Softkey2 & Softkey3.
The keys may be front panel keys, or softkeys, which are located directly below
the oscilloscope display.

Measurement Category Definitions
Characteristics and Specifications 1
The InfiniiVision 2000/3000 X-Series oscilloscope is intended
to be used for measurements in Measurement Category I.
Use this instrument only for measurements within its specified
measurement category.
Measurement category I is for measurements performed on
circuits not directly connected to MAINS. Examples are
measurements on circuits not derived from MAINS, and
specially protected (internal) MAINS derived circuits. In the
latter case, transient stresses are variable; for that reason,
the transient withstand capability of the equipment is made
known to the user.
Measurement category II is for measurements performed on
circuits directly connected to the low voltage installation.
Examples are measurements on household appliances,
portable tools and similar equipment.
2000/3000 X-Series Oscilloscopes Service Guide 17
Measurement category III is for measurements performed in
the building installation. Examples are measurements on
distribution boards, circuit- breakers, wiring, including cables,
bus- bars, junction boxes, switches, socket-outlets in the fixed
installation, and equipment for industrial use and some
other equipment, for example, stationary motors with
permanent connection to the fixed installation.
Measurement category IV is for measurements performed at
the source of the low-voltage installation. Examples are
electricity meters and measurements on primary overcurrent
protection devices and ripple control units.

disconnect if greater than 5 Vrms is detected. However, the input could
still be damaged, depending on the time constant of the signal. The 50

clean room or climate controlled office environment.
Pollution Degree 2. Normally only dry non-conductive pollution
occurs. Occasionally a temporary conductivity caused by
condensation may occur. Example: General indoor
environment.
Pollution Degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry,
non-conductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive

This chapter explains how to verify correct oscilloscope
operation and perform tests to ensure that the oscilloscope
meets the performance specifications.

2 Testing Performance
Overview
To completely test and troubleshoot MSO models, create and
use the test connector accessory as described in this
chapter.
• The test connector is only required for oscilloscopes that
have the MSO option licensed (enabled).
• The connector is used in the digital channel threshold
accuracy test.
• The test connector keeps electrical distortion to a
minimum and makes it easy for you to connect the
oscilloscope probes to function generators and
measurement equipment.
Let the Equipment Warm Up Before Testing
For accurate test results, let the test equipment and the
oscilloscope warm up 30 minutes before testing.
Verifying Test Results
During the tests, record the readings in the Performance
Test Record on page 63. To verify whether a test passes,
verify that the reading is within the limits in the
Performance Test Record.
If a performance test fails
If a performance test fails, first perform the User Cal procedure. Press the
following keys to access User Cal: [Utility]→Service→Start User Cal.

Agilent 2000/3000 X- Series oscilloscopes that have digital
channels enabled require the test connector described below.
Follow the steps to build the test connector.
Tabl e 3 Materials required to construct the test connectors
Description Recommended Part Qty
BNC (f) Connector Agilent 1250-1032 or
Pomona 4578
Berg Strip, 8-by-2 3M .100” x .100” Pin
Strip Header or similar
Jumper wire
1 Obtain a BNC connector and an 8-by-2 section of Berg
strip. A longer strip can be cut to length using wire
cutters.
2 On one side of the Berg strip, solder a jumper wire to all
of the pins (shown in Figure 1 on page 28).
3 On the other side of the Berg strip, solder another jumper
wire to all of the pins.
4 Solder the center of the BNC connector to a center pin on
one of the rows on the Berg strip.
5 Solder the ground tab of the BNC connector to a center
pin on the other row on the Berg strip.

To test digital channels (MSO models only)
The acquisition system testing provides confidence that the
acquisition system is functioning correctly. It does not,
however, check a particular specification.
1 Disconnect all probes from the circuit under test and from
any other input source.
2 Using probe leads and grabbers, connect digital channels
D0, D1, D2, and D3 to the Probe Comp signal on the
center of the front panel.
3 Press the [AutoScale] key.
If four square waves appear, the acquisition system is
functioning correctly.
If the square waves do not appear, go to the
“Troubleshooting” chapter. Then return here to finish
testing the digital channels.
4 Disconnect the digital channels from the calibration point.
5 Use steps 2 and 3 to test the following sets of digital
channels. After you test one set of digital channels,
remove them before connecting the next set.
• D4, D5, D6, D7
• D8, D9, D10, D11 (on 3000 X-Series models)
• D12, D13, D14, D15 (on 3000 X- Series models)

2 Testing Performance
To verify digital channel threshold accuracy (MSO models only)
This test verifies the digital channel threshold accuracy
specification of the Agilent 2000/3000 X- Series oscilloscopes.
Threshold accuracy test limits: ±(100 mV + 3% of threshold
setting)
When to Test
You should perform this test every 12 months or after 2000
hours of operation, whichever comes first.
What to Test
Use these instructions to test the threshold settings of digital
channels D7-D0. Then, use the same instructions to test
digital channels D15- D8 (on 3000 X- Series).
Verifying Test Results
After each threshold test, record the voltage reading in the
Performance Test Record on page 63. To verify whether a
test passes, verify that the voltage reading is within the
limits in the Performance Test Record.
