CAUTION
To avoid electric shock, ensure that the instrument is correctly grounded.
To Connect to the Display and the Control Device
DS8000-R series does not have an LCD display or monitor. To set the parameters and
view the measurement results, you need to connect it to an external control and
display device. You can use the externally connected monitor, mouse, or keyboard to
control the DS8000-R series oscilloscope. Also, you can use the Web Control remote
control method to control the oscilloscope.
⚫ To control with the externally connected display device, mouse, and
keypad board
You can configure the parameters for the function menu, observe acquired
waveforms, measurement results, and other information on the user interface
through the display device (e.g. LCD, TV, projector, etc.) externally connected
via the rear-panel HDMI interface. The keyboard and mouse can be connected
to the oscilloscope via the USB interface. In this way, you can input values or
strings with the externally connected keypad and mouse; scroll with the mouse
to select the desired parameter and adjust the parameter value; drag the mouse
cursor to make dragging operation on the screen.
Note:
The operations for controlling the DS8000-R series oscilloscope in this manual
are, by default, described based on the externally connected mouse and keypad
board operation. The screen mentioned in this manual refers to the externally
