7Safety Notices
At the front of the book you will find safety notice descriptions and document warranties.
Digital Channels
Because all of the oscilloscopes in the Agilent 2000/3000 X-Series have analog 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

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.

Transient Withstand Capability

Maximum input voltage for analog inputs CAT I 300 Vrms, 400 Vpk; transient overvoltage 1.6 kVpk with 10073C 10:1 probe: CAT I 500 Vpk, CAT II 400 Vpk with N2862A/B or N2863A/B 10:1 probe: 300 Vrms
Do not exceed 5 Vrms in 50 Ω mode (3000 X-Series oscilloscopes only). Input protection is enabled in 50 Ω mode, and the 50 Ω load will 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 Ω input protection mode only functions when the oscilloscope is powered on.

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.

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)

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.
