This chapter describes the steps you take when using the oscilloscope for the first
time.
Inspect the Package Contents
• Inspect the shipping container for damage.
If your shipping container appears to be damaged, keep the shipping container
or cushioning material until you have inspected the contents of the shipment
for completeness and have checked the oscilloscope mechanically and
electrically.
• Verify that you received the following items and any optional accessories you
may have ordered:
23
1Getting Started
• InfiniiVision 2000 X-Series oscilloscope.
• Power cord (country of origin determines specific type).
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.
1Getting 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.
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 Started1
CAUTION
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:
HorizontalNormal mode, 100 µs/div scale, 0 s delay, center time reference.
Vertical (Analog)Channel 1 on, 5 V/d iv scale, DC coupling, 0 V position.
TriggerEdge trigger, Auto trigger mode, 0 V level, channel 1 source, DC coupling, rising
edge slope, 40 ns holdoff time.
DisplayPersistence off, 20% grid intensity.
OtherAcquire mode normal, [Run/Stop] to Run, cursors and measurements off.
LabelsAll custom labels that you have created in the Label Library are preserved (not
erased), but all channel labels will be set to their original names.
In the Save/Recall Menu, there are also options for restoring the complete factory
settings (see “Recalling Default Setups" on page 238) or performing a secure
erase (see “Performing a Secure Erase" on page 239).
Use [Auto Scale] to automatically configure the oscilloscope to best display the
input signals.
1 Press [Auto Scale].
You should see a waveform on the oscilloscope's display similar to this:
