Infiniium Oscilloscopes
In This Book
This book gives you the information you need to begin using the Infiniium
Oscilloscopes. It contains four chapters:
Setting up the Oscilloscope Chapter 1 contains inspection, power
requirements, air flow, and setup information.
Working in Comfort Chapter 2 contains recommendations for working
comfortably and safely while operating the Infiniium Oscilloscope.
Using the Oscilloscope Chapter 3 gives an overview of the front panel and
the graphical user interface, and tells you how to perform basic operations with
the oscilloscope.
Using the Built-In Information System Chapter 4 describes the built-in
information system contents and navigation. The built-in information system
contains all of the information that is generally found in a User’s Guide.
• For detailed information on how the oscilloscope makes measurements and
how to use the oscilloscope, see the built-in information system in the
oscilloscope.
• For information on programming the oscilloscope using a computer with a
GPIB interface card or LAN interface card, see the Oscilloscopes
Programmer’s Reference for your model number oscilloscope found in the
Infiniium Information System.
• For information on testing and servicing the oscilloscope, see the Service
Guide manual for your model number oscilloscope found in Infiniium
Information System.

3 Connect the power cord to the rear of the oscilloscope, then to a
suitable ac voltage source (100 to 240 VAC ±10%, 47 to 63 Hz all models
for the 8000A series and 100 to 240 VAC ±10%, 47 to 63 Hz for the 80000B
series)
Maximum power dissipation: 80000B series is 550 W and 8000A series is 440 W.
Infiniium Oscilloscope Power Cord Connection
The oscilloscope power supply automatically adjusts for line input voltages in
the range 100 to 240 VAC. Therefore, you do not need to adjust an input line
voltage setting. The line cord provided is matched by Agilent Technologies to
the country of origin of the order.
4 Ensure that you have the correct line cord. See table 1-4.

To connect the mouse, the keyboard, a LAN cable, a USB
device, a printer, and a GPIB cable
See Figure 1-5 for the location of the connectors.
Mouse Plug the mouse into the matching connector on the back panel of the
oscilloscope. The connectors are labeled 1 and 5.
While you can operate many oscilloscope functions using only the front-panel keys and
knobs, you will need the mouse to access advanced oscilloscope functions through the
graphical interface, or to find out more about the oscilloscope through the built-in
information system.
Keyboard Plug the keyboard cable into the connector labeled 2 on the back panel of the
oscilloscope.
A keyboard cannot be plugged into the oscilloscope after the Windows operating system
has started booting.
LAN Cable Connect your LAN cable to the RJ-45 connector labeled 3 on the back panel of
the oscilloscope.
After you have connected to the LAN card, you must set up the network. Before you try
to setup your network, you should exit the oscilloscope application. If you do not know
how to setup a network in Windows XP, see your network administrator or use the
Windows XP on-line help.
USB
Connectors Connectors can be used for any USB devices. There is also a USB connector in
the upper right-hand corner of the front panel.
Printer Cable If you have a parallel (Centronics) printer, you will need a parallel printer cable.
Connect cable into the connector labeled 4.
If you have a serial printer, you will need a 9-pin to 25-pin serial printer cable.
Some printers may require other cable configurations, but the oscilloscope has
a 9-pin serial connector. Connect cable into the connector labeled 7.
GPIB Cable Attach the GPIB connector to the GPIB interface card connector labeled 6 on
the rear of the oscilloscope.

To connect oscilloscope probes
There are optional Infiniium oscilloscope probes, such as the 1130 and 1160
series probes, that connect to the oscilloscope differently than other
oscilloscope probes. Use the following steps to connect these snap-on probes
to the oscilloscope.
1 Attach the probe connector to the desired oscilloscope channel or
trigger input. Push it straight on until it latches into place.

You can connect an SMA cable to the 80000B series Infiniium oscilloscopes by
using the 54855-67604 SMA to precision BNC adaptor.

Probe tip isolation network and equivalent load
The probe tips of the probe lead set contain an isolation network which serves
to minimize the loading effect of the digital channels on the circuit under test.
