To po wer-on the

oscilloscope

Line voltage, frequency, and power:

• 100-240 Vac, 50/60 Hz

•90W max

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 right side of the oscilloscope and pushes it out the left side of the oscilloscope.

When using the oscilloscope in a bench-top setting, provide at least 4" (100 mm) clearance at the sides of the oscilloscope for proper cooling. Do not orient multiple instruments in a way that would direct warm air exhaust from one instrument into the air intake of another instrument.

The power supply 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.

To disconnect the oscilloscope from power, you must disconnect the external power supply from the instrument. Therefore, position the instrument so that it is not difficult to disconnect the external power supply.

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

1 Connect an oscilloscope probe from channel 1 to the Probe Comp terminal on

the front panel.

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

Comp terminal).

Using the Soft Front Panel (SFP) Interface

The Keysight InfiniiVision P924xA SFP has the same user interface as other standalone Keysight InfiniiVision oscilloscopes. While standalone oscilloscopes have keys, softkeys, and knobs—obviously different than the modular oscilloscopes—the display interface was also designed to be used with touch screens and connected USB mice, and it is just as easy to use with a mouse on the Windows operating system.

The main differences between using the interface on a standalone oscilloscope and a modular oscilloscope are:

• Instead of pressing front panel keys to open softkey menus, you use the top-left blue Main Menu button.

• Instead of pressing softkeys, you click the softkey label buttons.

• Instead of turning knobs to adjust scales, offets, delay positions, trigger levels, and cursor positions, there are clickable up/down, increase/decrease icon buttons that appear after clicking these values. Also, you can drag waveforms, trigger levels, and cursors.

Consider ergonomics when positioning the keyboard, monitor, and mouse.

Access the Built-In Quick Help

Soft Front Panel (SFP) help for the USB oscilloscope is different than in a traditional Windows application. Instead of a Windows HTML Help file you access through a Help menu, the USB oscilloscope's SFP help is the same quick help information that is built-in to standalone InfiniiVision oscilloscopes.

To access the built-in quick help, press and hold the left-mouse button over a softkey label button.

32 Keysight P9241/42/43A Oscilloscopes Startup Guide

Make a Measurement 7

Quick Help remains on the screen until you close the help dialog box or open another one.

Select the User Interface Language

Another benefit of having the same user interface as standalone InfiniiVision oscilloscopes is that you have a localized user interface and built-in quick help.

To select the user interface language:

1 Choose Main Menu > Help Menu.

2 In the Help Menu, click the Language softkey label button.

3 In the Language popup menu, select the desired language.

The following languages are available: Czech, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Thai, Traditional Chinese, and Turkish.

Recall the Default Oscilloscope Setup

To recall the default oscilloscope setup:

1 Choose Main Menu > 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:

7 Make a Measurement

Table 1 Default Configuration Settings

In the Default Menu, there are also options for restoring the complete factory settings.

Use Autoscale

Horizontal Normal mode, 100 µs/div scale, 0 s delay, center time reference. Vertical (Analog) Channel 1 on, 5 V/div scale, DC coupling, 0 V position, 1 MΩ impedance.

Trigger Edge trigger, Auto trigger mode, 0 V level, channel 1 source, DC coupling, rising

Labels All 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.

Use Autoscale to automatically configure the oscilloscope to best display the input signals.

1 Choose Main Menu > Autoscale.

You should see a waveform on the oscilloscope's display similar to this:

2 If you want to return to the oscilloscope settings that existed before, click Undo

Autoscale.

3 If you want to enable "fast debug" autoscaling, change the channels

autoscaled, or preserve the acquisition mode during autoscale, click Fast Debug, Channels, or Acq Mode.

These are the same softkeys that appear under Main Menu > Utilities > User Options Menu > Preferences > Autoscale.

If you see the waveform, but the square wave is not shaped correctly as shown above, perform the procedure "Compensate Passive Probes" on page 35.

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 Probe Comp terminal.

How Autoscale

Works

Autoscale analyzes any waveforms present at each channel and at the external trigger input.

Autoscale 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 where no signal is found are turned off.

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.

During Autoscale, 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 Signal" on page 32).

2 Choose Main Menu > Default Setup to recall the default oscilloscope setup (see

"Recall the Default Oscilloscope Setup" on page 33).

3 Choose Main Menu > Autoscale to automatically configure the oscilloscope for

the Probe Comp signal (see "Use Autoscale" on page 34).

4 Click the channel button to which the probe is connected (color-coded 1, 2, etc.

at the top of the SFP window).

5 In the Channel Menu, click Probe.

6 In the Channel Probe Menu, click Probe Check; then, follow the instructions

on-screen.

8 Repeat the procedure for each channel.

After a Default Setup, the Probe Comp signal is output to the Probe Comp terminal. However, the oscilloscope can also output training signals on this terminal. See: Main Menu > Training Signals > Training Signals. On P924xA oscilloscopes, the Probe Comp terminal is also the Demo 1 terminal. There is no Demo 2 terminal (unlike some other InfiniiVision X-Series oscilloscopes).

8 Applications Programming

Interface (API) Overview

IVI Drivers / 41 LabVIEW Driver / 42 SCPI Interface (P9241/42/43A Oscilloscope Only) / 42 Using the SFP and the Remote API at the Same Time / 45

When you have completed installation, you can use the oscilloscope Soft Front Panel (SFP) or program the instrument using the applications programming interface (API) for the supplied drivers.

IVI Drivers

Supported ADEs

(application

development

environments)

To use the API, the P9241/42/43A oscilloscope's driver must be connected. See

"Open the P924xA Oscilloscope Soft Front Panel (SFP)" on page 26.

Keysight's IVI drivers simplify the creation and maintenance of instrument control applications in a variety of development environments; they allow programmatic control of instrumentation while providing a greater degree of instrument interchangeability and code reuse. IVI drivers currently come in two basic types: IVI-COM and IVI-C. Although the functionality offered by both types of drivers is often very similar, the fundamental differences in interface technology results in a very different end-user experience. The IVI drivers support compiling application programs for 32- or 64-bit platforms.

Arguably the most important consideration in comparing IVI-COM and IVI-C drivers is the end user experience in various ADEs. Because IVI-COM drivers are based on Microsoft COM technology, it is not surprising that IVI-COM drivers offer the richest user experience in Microsoft ADEs. Users working in Visual C++, Visual C#, Visual Basic.NET, and Visual Basic 6 enjoy a host of features, such as object browsers, IntelliSense, and context-sensitive help.

8 Applications Programming Interface (API) Overview

When you install the product software, the IVI driver files are installed in the standard IVI Foundation directories (for example, C:\Program Files\IVI Foundation\ IVI\Drivers\).

Example programs are provided to demonstrate most driver functionality (for example, C:\Program Files\IVI Foundation\IVI\Drivers\AgInfiniiVision\Examples).

The reference material for the driver functions (a Microsoft HTML Help .chm file) is installed with the IVI driver and is available for Microsoft Visual Studio's IntelliSense context linking. In addition, you can directly access the .chm file (AgInfiniiVision.chm) from this Start menu location: Start > All Programs > Keysight Instrument Drivers > IVI-COM-C AgInfiniiVision Oscilloscope.

LabVIEW Driver

In addition to the IVI drivers, Keysight provides a LabVIEW driver that includes all the functionality of the IVI-C driver.

When you install the InfiniiVision LabVIEW driver software, the LabVIEW driver is installed to each LabVIEW instr.lib directory for each version of LabVIEW you have on your computer (for example, C:\Program Files (x86) \National Instruments\ <LabVIEW version>\instr.lib\<Keysight product model>).

If you install LabVIEW drivers before you install LabVIEW itself, the drivers will be installed in the Keysight directory instead of the National Instruments directory (for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\Keysight\<Keysight product model>\ LabVIEW Driver\<LabVIEW version>\...).

Example programs are provided to demonstrate most driver functionality.

The reference information for the driver (a Microsoft HTML Help file named KtInfiniiVision_LabVIEW_Help.chm) is also installed with the driver, and the content is available from LabVIEW's context Help menu or in the LabVIEW help directory.

SCPI Interface (P9241/42/43A Oscilloscope Only)

You can access the oscilloscope's SCPI interface when the P9241/42/43A oscilloscope's driver is connected (see "Open the P924xA Oscilloscope Soft Front

Panel (SFP)" on page 26).

You can find the SCPI Programmer's Guide in these locations:

• On the product CD.

•On the website at: www.keysight.com/manuals/P9241A

One quick way to test SCPI commands is by using the Interactive IO utility that comes with the Keysight IO Libraries Suite.

42 Keysight P9241/42/43A Oscilloscopes Startup Guide

Applications Programming Interface (API) Overview 8

Launching Interactive IO from Connection Expert on the Host PC

The Interactive IO utility can be started on any controller PC that has the Keysight IO Libraries Suite installed. Typically, you click on the Keysight IO Control icon in the taskbar and choose Utilities > Interactive IO from the popup menu (see the SCPI Programmer's Guide for complete instructions).

On the host PC (that is, the PC that has the USB 3.0 connection to the oscilloscope), you can also launch the Interactive IO utility from within Connection Expert:

1 Click the Keysight IO Libraries Suite icon in the task bar and choose Connection

Expert from the popup menu.

2 In the Connection Expert window's Instruments tab, select the connected

oscilloscope under the LAN (TCPIP0) interface.

Keysight P9241/42/43A Oscilloscopes Startup Guide 43

8 Applications Programming Interface (API) Overview

NOTE

The oscilloscope appears under the LAN (TCPIP0) interface when the P9241/42/43A oscilloscope's driver is connected (see "Open the P924xA Oscilloscope Soft Front

Panel (SFP)" on page 26).

The oscilloscope also appears under the PXI (PXI0) interface, but trying to send SCPI commands through that interface gives an "Operation not supported" error.

3 In the Details for the selected oscilloscope, click Interactive IO.

4 To test SCPI commands In the Keysight Interactive IO window, enter commands

in the Command field and click Send Command, Read Response, or Send & Read.

5 To exit the Keysight Interactive IO application, choose Connect > Exit from the

menu.

Using the SFP and the Remote API at the Same Time

In general, you can use the Soft Front Panel (SFP) and the remote applications programming interface (API) together, at the same time. This can be useful, for example, because it lets you change oscilloscope settings while debugging remote programs.

However, the SFP can become "locked out" while the oscilloscope waits for a waveform to become fully acquired. This can happen, for example, after these SCPI commands/queries: :WAVeform:DATA?, :WAVeform:PREamble?, :LISTer:DATA?, :SEARch:COUNt?, :DIGitize, or :SINGle. In these situations, you can clear the remote operation in progress by sending a Device Clear to the remote user interface.

Keysight P9241/42/43A Oscilloscopes Startup Guide 45

8 Applications Programming Interface (API) Overview

Sending a Device Clear to the Remote Interface

Every remote programming library gives you a way to send an IEEE 488.1-style Device Clear. For example, the IVI-COM library provides the System2.ClearIO method. Another easy way to send a Device Clear is through the IO Libraries Suite's Interactive IO application.

1 On a networked PC that has the IO Libraries Suite installed, click the Keysight

IO Control icon in the taskbar and choose Utilities > Interactive IO from the popup menu.

2 In the Keysight Interactive IO application, choose Connect > Connect....

3 In the Connect dialog box, enter the oscilloscope's HiSLIP address into the

Resource Name field and click OK.

The oscilloscope's HiSLIP address can be cut-and-pasted from your remote program or you can piece it together from the controller PC's IP address (or hostname) and the oscilloscope's PXI address. For example if the controller PC's IP address is "127.0.0.1" (or hostame is "lab-pxi-3.cos.is.keysight.com")

46 Keysight P9241/42/43A Oscilloscopes Startup Guide

Applications Programming Interface (API) Overview 8

and the oscilloscope's PXI address is "PXI37::0::0::INSTR", the oscilloscope's HiSLIP address is "TCPIP0::10.112.93.141::hislip37-0.0::INSTR" (or "TCPIP0::lab-pxi-3.cos.is.keysight.com::hislip37-0.0::INSTR").

If you are running the Interactive IO application on the controller PC, you can use the "127.0.0.1" localhost IP address, for example, "TCPIP0::127.0.0.1::hislip37-0.0::INSTR".

4 When connected, click Device Clear.

5 To exit the Keysight Interactive IO application, choose Connect > Exit from the

menu.
