NOTE

Install the Optional LAN/VGA or GPIB Module

If you need to install a DSOXLAN LAN/VGA module or a DSOXGPIB GPIB module, perform this installation before you power on the oscilloscope.

1 If you need to remove a module before installing a different module, pinch the

module's spring tabs, and gently remove the module from the slot.

2 To install a module, slide the module into the slot on the back until it is fully

seated.

The module's spring tabs will latch into the slot, keeping the module in place.

Requirements

Line voltage, frequency, and power:

• ~Line 100-120 Vac, 50/60/400 Hz

• 100-240 Vac, 50/60 Hz

• 100 W max

This instrument has auto-ranging line voltage input. Be sure the supply voltage is within the specified range and voltage fluctuations do not to exceed 10 percent of the nominal supply voltage.

The air intake and exhaust areas must be free from obstructions. Unrestricted air flow is required for proper cooling. Always ensure that the air intake and exhaust areas are free from obstructions.

The fan draws air in from the left side and bottom of the oscilloscope and pushes it out behind the oscilloscope.

1 Getting Started

WARNING

CAUTION

When using the oscilloscope in a bench-top setting, provide at least 2" clearance at the sides and 4" (100 mm) clearance above and behind the oscilloscope for proper cooling.

To power-on the

oscilloscope

1 Connect the power cord to the rear of the oscilloscope, then to a suitable AC

voltage source. Route the power cord so the oscilloscope's feet and legs do not pinch the cord.

Install the instrument so that the detachable power cord is readily identifiable and is easily reached by the operator. The detachable power cord is the instrument disconnecting device. It disconnects the mains circuits from the mains supply before other parts of the instrument. The front panel switch is only a standby switch and is not a LINE switch. Alternatively, an externally installed switch or circuit breaker (which is readily identifiable and is easily reached by the operator) may be used as a disconnecting device.

2 The oscilloscope automatically adjusts for input line voltages in the range 100

to 240 VAC. The line cord provided is matched to the country of origin.

Always use a grounded power cord. Do not defeat the power cord ground.

3 Press the power switch.

The power switch is located on the lower left corner of the front panel. The oscilloscope will perform a self-test and will be operational in a few seconds.

Connect Probes to the Oscilloscope

28 Keysight InfiniiVision 2000 X-Series Oscilloscopes User's Guide

1 Connect the oscilloscope probe to an oscilloscope channel BNC connector. 2 Connect the probe's retractable hook tip to the point of interest on the circuit or

device under test. Be sure to connect the probe ground lead to a ground point on the circuit.

Maximum input voltage at analog inputs

135 Vrms

Getting Started 1

CAUTION

WARNING

When measuring voltages over 30 V, use a 10:1 probe.

Do not float the oscilloscope chassis

Defeating the ground connection and "floating" the oscilloscope chassis will probably result in inaccurate measurements and may also cause equipment damage. The probe ground lead is connected to the oscilloscope chassis and the ground wire in the power cord. If you need to measure between two live points, use a differential probe with sufficient dynamic range.

Do not negate the protective action of the ground connection to the oscilloscope. The oscilloscope must remain grounded through its power cord. Defeating the ground creates an electric shock hazard.

Input a Waveform

The first signal to input to the oscilloscope is the Demo 2, Probe Comp signal. This signal is used for compensating probes.

1 Connect an oscilloscope probe from channel 1 to the Demo 2 (Probe Comp)

terminal on the front panel.

2 Connect the probe's ground lead to the ground terminal (next to the Demo 2

terminal).

Recall the Default Oscilloscope Setup

To recall the default oscilloscope setup: 1 Press [Default Setup].

The default setup restores the oscilloscope's default settings. This places the oscilloscope in a known operating condition. The major default settings are:

If you see the waveform, but the square wave is not shaped correctly as shown above, perform the procedure “Compensate Passive Probes" on page 32.

If you do not see the waveform, make sure the probe is connected securely to the front panel channel input BNC and to the left side, Demo 2, Probe Comp terminal.

How AutoScale

Works

Keysight InfiniiVision 2000 X-Series Oscilloscopes User's Guide 31

Auto Scale analyzes any waveforms present at each channel and at the external trigger input. This includes the digital channels, if connected.

Auto Scale finds, turns on, and scales any channel with a repetitive waveform that has a frequency of at least 25 Hz, a duty cycle greater than 0.5%, and an amplitude of at least 10 mV peak-to-peak. Any channels that do not meet these requirements are turned off.

1 Getting Started

The trigger source is selected by looking for the first valid waveform starting with external trigger, then continuing with the lowest number analog channel up to the highest number analog channel, and finally (if digital probes are connected) the highest number digital channel.

During Auto Scale, the delay is set to 0.0 seconds, the horizontal time/div (sweep speed) setting is a function of the input signal (about 2 periods of the triggered signal on the screen), and the triggering mode is set to Edge.

Compensate Passive Probes

Each oscilloscope passive probe must be compensated to match the input characteristics of the oscilloscope channel to which it is connected. A poorly compensated probe can introduce significant measurement errors.

1 Input the Probe Comp signal (see “Input a Waveform" on page 29). 2 Press [Default Setup] to recall the default oscilloscope setup (see “Recall the

Default Oscilloscope Setup" on page 29).

3 Press [Auto Scale] to automatically configure the oscilloscope for the Probe

Comp signal (see “Use Auto Scale" on page 30).

4 Press the channel key to which the probe is connected ([1], [2], etc.). 5 In the Channel Menu, press Probe. 6 In the Channel Probe Menu, press Probe Check; then, follow the instructions

on-screen.

If necessary, use a nonmetallic tool (supplied with the probe) to adjust the trimmer capacitor on the probe for the flattest pulse possible.

On the N2862/63/90 probes, the trimmer capacitor is the yellow adjustment on the probe tip. On other probes, the trimmer capacitor is located on the probe BNC connector.

The ∇ symbol at the top of the display indicates the time reference point.

The horizontal scale knob works (in the Normal time mode) while acquisitions are running or when they are stopped. When running, adjusting the horizontal scale knob changes the sample rate. When stopped, adjusting the horizontal scale knob lets you zoom into acquired data. See “Panning and Zooming Single or Stopped

Acquisitions" on page 52.

Note that the horizontal scale knob has a different purpose in the Zoom display. See “To display the zoomed time base" on page 56.

To adjust the horizontal delay (position)

1 Turn the horizontal delay (position) knob ( ).

The trigger point moves horizontally, pausing at 0.00 s (mimicking a mechanical detent), and the delay value is displayed in the status line.

Changing the delay time moves the trigger point (solid inverted triangle) horizontally and indicates how far it is from the time reference point (hollow inverted triangle ∇). These reference points are indicated along the top of the display grid.

Horizontal Controls 2

Figure 2 shows the trigger point with the delay time set to 200 µs. The delay time

number tells you how far the time reference point is located from the trigger point. When delay time is set to zero, the delay time indicator overlays the time reference indicator.

All events displayed left of the trigger point happened before the trigger occurred. These events are called pre-trigger information, and they show events that led up to the trigger point.

Everything to the right of the trigger point is called post-trigger information. The amount of delay range (pre-trigger and post-trigger information) available depends on the time/div selected and memory depth.

The horizontal position knob works (in the Normal time mode) while acquisitions are running or when they are stopped. When running, adjusting the horizontal scale knob changes the sample rate. When stopped, adjusting the horizontal scale knob lets you zoom into acquired data. See “Panning and Zooming Single or

Stopped Acquisitions" on page 52.

NOTE

Note that the horizontal position knob has a different purpose in the Zoom display. See “To display the zoomed time base" on page 56.

Panning and Zooming Single or Stopped Acquisitions

When the oscilloscope is stopped, use the horizontal scale and position knobs to pan and zoom your waveform. The stopped display may contain several acquisitions worth of information, but only the last acquisition is available for pan and zoom.

The ability to pan (move horizontally) and scale (expand or compress horizontally) an acquired waveform is important because of the additional insight it can reveal about the captured waveform. This additional insight is often gained from seeing the waveform at different levels of abstraction. You may want to view both the big picture and the specific little picture details.

The ability to examine waveform detail after the waveform has been acquired is a benefit generally associated with digital oscilloscopes. Often this is simply the ability to freeze the display for the purpose of measuring with cursors or printing the screen. Some digital oscilloscopes go one step further by including the ability to further examine the signal details after acquiring them by panning through the waveform and changing the horizontal scale.

There is no limit imposed on the scaling ratio between the time/div used to acquire the data and the time/div used to view the data. There is, however, a useful limit. This useful limit is somewhat a function of the signal you are analyzing.

Zooming into stopped acquisitions

The screen will still contain a relatively good display if you zoom-in horizontally by a factor of 1000 and zoom-in vertically by a factor of 10 to display the information from where it was acquired. Remember that you can only make automatic measurements on displayed data.

volts-versus-volts display. The time base is turned off. Channel 1 amplitude is plotted on the X-axis and Channel 2 amplitude is plotted on the Y-axis.

You can use XY mode to compare frequency and phase relationships between two signals. XY mode can also be used with transducers to display strain versus displacement, flow versus pressure, volts versus current, or voltage versus frequency.

Use the cursors to make measurements on XY mode waveforms.

For more information about using XY mode for measurements, refer to “XY

Time Mode" on page 53.

• Roll — causes the waveform to move slowly across the screen from right to

left. It only operates on time base settings of 50 ms/div and slower. If the current time base setting is faster than the 50 ms/div limit, it will be set to 50 ms/div when Roll mode is entered.

In Roll mode there is no trigger. The fixed reference point on the screen is the right edge of the screen and refers to the current moment in time. Events that have occurred are scrolled to the left of the reference point. Since there is no trigger, no pre-trigger information is available.

If you would like to pause the display in Roll mode press the [Single] key. To clear the display and restart an acquisition in Roll mode, press the [Single] key again.

Use Roll mode on low-frequency waveforms to yield a display much like a strip chart recorder. It allows the waveform to roll across the display.

XY Time Mode

The XY time mode converts the oscilloscope from a volts-versus-time display to a volts-versus-volts display using two input channels. Channel 1 is the X-axis input, channel 2 is the Y-axis input. You can use various transducers so the display could show strain versus displacement, flow versus pressure, volts versus current, or voltage versus frequency.

Z-Axis Input in XY Display Mode (Blanking)

When you select the XY display mode, the time base is turned off. Channel 1 is the X-axis input, channel 2 is the Y-axis input, and the rear panel EXT TRIG IN is the Z-axis input. If you only want to see portions of the Y versus X display, use the Z-axis input. Z-axis turns the trace on and off (analog oscilloscopes called this Z-axis blanking because it turned the beam on and off). When Z is low (<1.4 V), Y versus X is displayed; when Z is high (>1.4 V), the trace is turned off.

64 Keysight InfiniiVision 2000 X-Series Oscilloscopes User's Guide

1 Press an analog channel key turn the channel on or off (and to display the

channel's menu).

When a channel is on, its key is illuminated.

Turning channels off

You must be viewing the menu for a channel before you can turn it off. For example, if channel 1 and channel 2 are turned on and the menu for channel 2 is being displayed, to turn channel 1 off, press [1] to display the channel 1 menu; then, press [1] again to turn channel 1 off.

To adjust the vertical scale

1 Turn the large knob above the channel key marked to set the vertical

scale (volts/division) for the channel.

The vertical scale knob changes the analog channel scale in a 1-2-5 step sequence (with a 1:1 probe attached) unless fine adjustment is enabled (see “To

change the vertical scale knob's coarse/fine adjustment setting" on page 66).

The analog channel Volts/Div value is displayed in the status line.

The default mode for expanding the signal when you turn the volts/division knob is vertical expansion about the ground level of the channel; however, you can change this to expand about the center of the display. See “To choose "expand

about" center or ground" on page 253.

To adjust the vertical position

Vertical Controls 3

1 Turn the small vertical position knob ( ) to move the channel's waveform up or

down on the display.

The voltage value momentarily displayed in the upper right portion of the display represents the voltage difference between the vertical center of the display and

the ground level ( ) icon. It also represents the voltage at the vertical center of the display if vertical expansion is set to expand about ground (see “To choose

"expand about" center or ground" on page 253).

To specify channel coupling

Coupling changes the channel's input coupling to either AC (alternating current) or DC (direct current).

Keysight InfiniiVision 2000 X-Series Oscilloscopes User's Guide 65

3 Vertical Controls

TIP

If the channel is DC coupled, you can quickly measure the DC component of the signal by simply noting its distance from the ground symbol.

If the channel is AC coupled, the DC component of the signal is removed, allowing you to use greater sensitivity to display the AC component of the signal.

1 Press the desired channel key. 2 In the Channel Menu, press the Coupling softkey to select the input channel

coupling:

• DC — DC coupling is useful for viewing waveforms as low as 0 Hz that do not

have large DC offsets.

• AC — AC coupling is useful for viewing waveforms with large DC offsets.

AC coupling places a 10 Hz high-pass filter in series with the input waveform that removes any DC offset voltage from the waveform.

Note that Channel Coupling is independent of Trigger Coupling. To change trigger coupling see “To select the trigger coupling" on page 149.

To specify bandwidth limiting

1 Press the desired channel key. 2 In the Channel Menu, press the BW Limit softkey to enable or disable bandwidth

limiting.

When bandwidth limit is on, the maximum bandwidth for the channel is approximately 20 MHz. For waveforms with frequencies below this, turning bandwidth limit on removes unwanted high frequency noise from the waveform. The bandwidth limit also limits the trigger signal path of any channel that has BW Limit turned on.

To change the vertical scale knob's coarse/fine adjustment setting

1 Push the channel's vertical scale knob (or press the channel key and then the

Fine softkey in the Channel Menu) to toggle between fine and coarse

adjustment of the vertical scale.

66 Keysight InfiniiVision 2000 X-Series Oscilloscopes User's Guide

When Fine adjustment is selected, you can change the channel's vertical sensitivity in smaller increments. The channel sensitivity remains fully calibrated when Fine is on.

The vertical scale value is displayed in the status line at the top of the display.

When Fine is turned off, turning the volts/division knob changes the channel sensitivity in a 1-2-5 step sequence.

To invert a waveform

1 Press the desired channel key. 2 In the Channel Menu, press the Invert softkey to invert the selected channel.

When Invert is selected, the voltage values of the displayed waveform are inverted.

Invert affects how a channel is displayed. However, when using basic triggers, the oscilloscope attempts to maintain the same trigger point by changing trigger settings.

Vertical Controls 3

Inverting a channel also changes the result of any math function selected in the Waveform Math Menu or any measurement.

Setting Analog Channel Probe Options

1 Press the probe's associated channel key. 2 In the Channel Menu, press the Probe softkey to display the Channel Probe

Menu.

This menu lets you select additional probe parameters such as attenuation factor and units of measurement for the connected probe.

The Probe Check softkey guides you through the process of compensating passive probes (such as the N2841A, N2842A, N2843A, N2862A/B, N2863A/B, N2889A, N2890A, 10073C, 10074C, or 1165A probes).

To set the probe attenuation factor:

1 Press the channel key. 2 Press the Probe softkey until you have selected how you want to specify the

attenuation factor, choosing either Ratio or Decibels.

3 Turn the Entry knob to set the attenuation factor for the connected probe.

When measuring voltage values, the attenuation factor can be set from 0.001:1 to 10000:1 in a 1-2-5 sequence.

When measuring current values with a current probe, the attenuation factor can be set from 1000 V/A to 0.0001 V/A.

When specifying the attenuation factor in decibels, you can select values from

-60 dB to 80 dB.

If Amps is chosen as the units and a manual attenuation factor is chosen, then the units as well as the attenuation factor are displayed above the Probe softkey.

• “FFT Measurement" on page 76

FFT Measurement

FFT is used to compute the fast Fourier transform using analog input channels or an arithmetic operation g(t). FFT takes the digitized time record of the specified source and transforms it to the frequency domain. When the FFT function is selected, the FFT spectrum is plotted on the oscilloscope display as magnitude in dBV versus frequency. The readout for the horizontal axis changes from time to frequency (Hertz) and the vertical readout changes from volts to dB.

To display a FFT waveform: 1 Press the [Math] key, press the Function softkey and select f(t), press the Operator

softkey and select FFT.

• Source 1 — selects the source for the FFT. (See “To perform a transform

function on an arithmetic operation" on page 72 for information about using

g(t) as the source.)

• Span — sets the overall width of the FFT spectrum that you see on the

display (left to right). Divide span by 10 to calculate the number of Hertz per division. It is possible to set Span above the maximum available frequency, in which case the displayed spectrum will not take up the whole screen. Press the Span softkey, then turn the Entry knob to set the desired frequency span of the display.

• Center — sets the FFT spectrum frequency represented at the center vertical

grid line of the display. It is possible to set the Center to values below half the span or above the maximum available frequency, in which case the displayed spectrum will not take up the whole screen. Press the Center softkey, then turn the Entry knob to set the desired center frequency of the display.

• Scale — lets you set your own vertical scale factors for FFT expressed in

dB/div (decibels/division). See “To adjust the math waveform scale and

only where there will be no leakage effects. Use on self-windowing waveforms such as pseudo-random noise, impulses, sine bursts, and decaying sinusoids.

• Blackman Harris — window reduces time resolution compared to a

rectangular window, but improves the capacity to detect smaller impulses due to lower secondary lobes.

• Vertical Units — lets you select Decibels or V RMS as the units for the FFT

vertical scale.

• Auto Setup — sets the frequency Span and Center to values that will cause

the entire available spectrum to be displayed. The maximum available frequency is half the FFT sample rate, which is a function of the time per division setting. The FFT resolution is the quotient of the sampling rate and the number of FFT points (f

Once the FFT spectrum is displayed, the frequency span and center frequency controls are used much like the controls of a spectrum analyzer to examine the frequency of interest in greater detail. Place the desired part of the waveform at the center of the screen and decrease frequency span to increase the display resolution. As frequency span is decreased, the number of points shown is reduced, and the display is magnified.

While the FFT spectrum is displayed, use the [Math] and [Cursors] keys to switch between measurement functions and frequency domain controls in FFT Menu.

FFT Resolution

The FFT resolution is the quotient of the sampling rate and the number of FFT points (fS/N). With a fixed number of FFT points (up to 65,536), the lower the sampling rate, the better the resolution.

Decreasing the effective sampling rate by selecting a greater time/div setting will increase the low frequency resolution of the FFT display and also increase the chance that an alias will be displayed. The resolution of the FFT is the effective sample rate divided by the number of points in the FFT. The actual resolution of the display will not be this fine as the shape of the window will be the actual limiting factor in the FFTs ability to resolve two closely space frequencies. A good way to test the ability of the FFT to resolve two closely spaced frequencies is to examine the sidebands of an amplitude modulated sine wave.

For the best vertical accuracy on peak measurements:

• Make sure the probe attenuation is set correctly. The probe attenuation is set from the Channel Menu if the operand is a channel.

• Set the source sensitivity so that the input signal is near full screen, but not clipped.

•Use the Flat Top window.

• Set the FFT sensitivity to a sensitive range, such as 2 dB/division.

For best frequency accuracy on peaks:

• Use the Hanning window.

• Use Cursors to place an X cursor on the frequency of interest.

• Adjust frequency span for better cursor placement.

• Return to the Cursors Menu to fine tune the X cursor.

information can be obtained from Chapter 4 of the book Spectrum and Network Measurements by Robert A. Witte.

FFT Units

0 dBV is the amplitude of a 1 Vrms sinusoid. When the FFT source is channel 1 or channel 2 (or channel 3 or 4 on 4-channel models), FFT units will be displayed in dBV when channel units is set to Volts and channel impedance is set to 1 MΩ.

FFT units will be displayed in dBm when channel units is set to Volts and channel impedance is set to 50Ω.

FFT units will be displayed as dB for all other FFT sources or when a source channel's units has been set to Amps.

FFT DC Value

The FFT computation produces a DC value that is incorrect. It does not take the offset at center screen into account. The DC value is not corrected in order to accurately represent frequency components near DC.

FFT Aliasing

When using FFTs, it is important to be aware of frequency aliasing. This requires that the operator have some knowledge as to what the frequency domain should contain, and also consider the sampling rate, frequency span, and oscilloscope vertical bandwidth when making FFT measurements. The FFT resolution (the quotient of the sampling rate and the number of FFT points) is displayed directly above the softkeys when the FFT Menu is displayed.

NOTE

Nyquist Frequency and Aliasing in the Frequency Domain

The Nyquist frequency is the highest frequency that any real-time digitizing oscilloscope can acquire without aliasing. This frequency is half of the sample rate. Frequencies above the Nyquist frequency will be under sampled, which causes aliasing. The Nyquist frequency is also called the folding frequency because aliased frequency components fold back from that frequency when viewing the frequency domain.

Aliasing happens when there are frequency components in the signal higher than half the sample rate. Because the FFT spectrum is limited by this frequency, any higher components are displayed at a lower (aliased) frequency.

The following figure illustrates aliasing. This is the spectrum of a 990 Hz square wave, which has many harmonics. The sample rate is set to 100 kSa/s, and the oscilloscope displays the spectrum. The displayed waveform shows the components of the input signal above the Nyquist frequency to be mirrored (aliased) on the display and reflected off the right edge.

Figure 7 Aliasing

82 Keysight InfiniiVision 2000 X-Series Oscilloscopes User's Guide

Math Waveforms 4

Because the frequency span goes from ≈ 0 to the Nyquist frequency, the best way to prevent aliasing is to make sure that the frequency span is greater than the frequencies of significant energy present in the input signal.

FFT Spectral Leakage

The FFT operation assumes that the time record repeats. Unless there is an integral number of cycles of the sampled waveform in the record, a discontinuity is created at the end of the record. This is referred to as leakage. In order to minimize spectral leakage, windows that approach zero smoothly at the beginning and end of the signal are employed as filters to the FFT. The FFT Menu provides four windows: Hanning, Flat Top, Rectangular, and Blackman-Harris. For more information on leakage, see Keysight Application Note 243, The Fundamentals of Signal Analysis at

Off

CAUTION

Turning off power to the device under test would only prevent damage that might occur if you accidentally short two lines together while connecting probes. You can leave the oscilloscope powered on because no voltage appears at the probes.

2 Connect the digital probe cable to the DIGITAL Dn - D0 connector on the front

panel of the mixed-signal oscilloscope. The digital probe cable is keyed so you can connect it only one way. You do not need to power-off the oscilloscope.

Digital Channels 6

When you press [Run/Stop] or [Single] to run the oscilloscope, the oscilloscope examines the input voltage at each input probe. When the trigger conditions are met the oscilloscope triggers and displays the acquisition.

For digital channels, each time the oscilloscope takes a sample it compares the input voltage to the logic threshold. If the voltage is above the threshold, the oscilloscope stores a 1 in sample memory; otherwise, it stores a 0.

To display digital channels using AutoScale

When signals are connected to the digital channels — be sure to connect the ground leads — AutoScale quickly configures and displays the digital channels.

Keysight InfiniiVision 2000 X-Series Oscilloscopes User's Guide 93

• To configure the instrument quickly, press the [AutoScale] key.

To display digital channels as a bus

Digital channels may be grouped and displayed as a bus, with each bus value displayed at the bottom of the display in hex or binary. You can create up to two buses. To configure and display each bus, press the [Digital] key on the front panel. Then press the Bus softkey.

Next, select a bus. Rotate the Entry knob, then press the Entry knob or the Bus1/Bus2 softkey to switch it on.

Use the Channel softkey and the Entry knob to select individual channels to be included in the bus. You can rotate the Entry knob and push it or push the softkey to select channels. You can also press the Select/Deselect D7-D0 softkey to include or exclude groups of eight channels in each bus.

If the bus display is blank, completely white, or if the display includes "...", you need to expand the horizontal scale to allow space for the data to be shown, or use the cursors to display the values (see “Using cursors to read bus values" on page 99).

The Base softkey lets you choose to display the bus values in hex or binary.
