Built-in Quick Help
A Quick Help system is built into the oscilloscope. Instructions for using the
quick help system are given on page 56.
Digital Channels
Because all of the oscilloscopes in the Agilent 6000 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.
Using this book with the 6000L Series oscilloscopes
The 6000L Series oscilloscopes do not have a built-in display or front panel
control keys. If you are using a 6000L Series oscilloscope, and this book refers to
using front panel controls, you can use the built-in Web control feature described
on page 42 to complete the instructions.
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 Key2, then pressing Key3 are
abbreviated as follows:

1Getting Started
To adjust the 6000A Series handle
You can use the oscilloscope’s handle for carrying the
instrument, or you can use it as a stand to tilt the instrument up
for easier viewing of its display.
1 Grasp the handle hubs on each side of the instrument and
pull the hubs out until they stop.
26 6000 Series Oscilloscope User’s Guide
2 Without releasing the hubs, rotate the handle to the desired
position. Then release the hubs. Continue rotating the handle
until it clicks into a set position.
To mount the oscilloscope in a rack
The 6000 Series oscilloscopes can be mounted into Electronic
Industries Association (EIA) standard 19-inch (487-mm) rack
cabinets.
To mount the 6000A Series oscilloscope in a rack
Purchase and install the N2916A rack mount kit. Instructions
are included in the kit.
To mount the 6000L Series oscilloscope in a rack
The 6000L Series oscilloscope is supplied with all necessary
hardware for installation into a standard EIA 19-inch rack.

Step 3
If needed
1 Loosely attach the Front Extender Supports to the Rear
Extender Supports with four (4) clip-nuts and four (4) of the
10-32 x 0.375 Rail Screws. (The screws require a Torx T20
driver.) Choose the correct set of slots in the supports such
that their overall length is approximately correct for the
depth of your cabinet.

Step 2
Getting Started 1
2 Fasten the Rack Mount Extenders to the oscilloscope chassis
with the four (4) M3 x 6 mm screws, using a Torx T10 driver
as follows:
NOTE
The sets of holes in the Rack Mount Extenders are slightly offset. This was
done to ensure that the Rack Mount Extenders are attached to the
oscilloscope at the correct points so that the oscilloscope’s ventilation
area is not obscured. The holes in the Rack Mount Extenders will align
with the correct holes in the oscilloscope and the screws will go in easily.
Do not force the screws into the wrong holes.
a Attach a Rack Mount Extender to the left side of the
oscilloscope using two (2) of the M3 x 6 mm screws in the
inner set of holes on the Rack Mount Extender.
Use inner
holes in
extender
Use outer
holes in
extender
b Attach the other Rack Mount Extender to the right side of
the oscilloscope using two (2) of the M3 x 6 mm screws in
the outer set of holes on the rack mount extender.
3 Place the instrument in the rack. Install the four (4)
10-32 x 0.625 Dress Screws in the chassis front ears to secure
the front of the instrument to the rack. Use the Phillips
screwdriver.
4 Align the ears in the Rear Mount Extenders with the correct
set of holes in the rear of the rack and secure the Rack Mount

Ventilation requirements
Extenders to the rack using the four (4) remaining
10-32 x 0.375 Rail Screws. Use the Torx T20 driver.
5 Securely attach the Rear Extender Supports to the Front
Extender Supports by tightening the four (4) 10-32 x 0.375
Rail Screws screws that you loosely attached in step 1.
The air intake and exhaust areas must be free from
obstructions. Unrestricted air flow is required for proper
cooling.
6000A Ventilation Requirements
The fan draws air in from underneath the oscilloscope and
pushes it out behind the oscilloscope. Always ensure that the
air intake and exhaust areas are free from obstructions.
When using the oscilloscope in a bench-top setting, provide at
least 4" (100 mm) clearance behind and above the oscilloscope
for proper cooling.
6000L Ventilation Requirements
The fan draws air from the left and pushes it to the right.
Ensure that air flow is not obstructed.
