Important safety information
This manual contains information and warnings that must be followed by the user
for safe operation and to keep the product in a safe condition.
To safely perform service on this product, see the Service safety summary that
follows the General safety summary.
General safety summary
Use the product only as specified. Review the following safety precautions to
avoid injury and prevent damage to this product or any products connected to it.
Carefully read all instructions. Retain these instructions for future reference.
This product shall be used in accordance with local and national codes.
For correct and safe operation of the product, it is essential that you follow
generally accepted safety procedures in addition to the safety precautions
specified in this manual.
The product is designed to be used by trained personnel only.
Only qualified personnel who are aware of the hazards involved should remove
the cover for repair, maintenance, or adjustment.
Before use, always check the product with a known source to be sure it is
operating correctly.
This product is not intended for detection of hazardous voltages.
Use personal protective equipment to prevent shock and arc blast injury where
hazardous live conductors are exposed.
3 Series MDO Specifications and Performance Verification iii
Important safety information
To avoid fire or personal
injury
Use proper power cord. Use only the power cord specified for this product and
certified for the country of use. Do not use the provided power cord for other
products.
Ground the product. This product is grounded through the grounding conductor of
the power cord. To avoid electric shock, the grounding conductor must be
connected to earth ground. Before making connections to the input or output
terminals of the product, ensure that the product is properly grounded. Do not
disable the power cord grounding connection.
Power disconnect. The power cord disconnects the product from the power
source. See instructions for the location. Do not position the equipment so that it
is difficult to operate the power cord; it must remain accessible to the user at all
times to allow for quick disconnection if needed.
Connect and disconnect properly. Do not connect or disconnect probes or test
leads while they are connected to a voltage source. Use only insulated voltage
probes, test leads, and adapters supplied with the product, or indicated by
Tektronix to be suitable for the product.
Observe all terminal ratings. To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all rating and
markings on the product. Consult the product manual for further ratings
information before making connections to the product. Do not exceed the
Measurement Category (CAT) rating and voltage or current rating of the lowest
rated individual component of a product, probe, or accessory. Use caution when
using 1:1 test leads because the probe tip voltage is directly transmitted to the
product.
Do not apply a potential to any terminal, including the common terminal, that
exceeds the maximum rating of that terminal.
Do not operate without covers. Do not operate this product with covers or panels
removed, or with the case open. Hazardous voltage exposure is possible.
Avoid exposed circuitry. Do not touch exposed connections and components when
power is present.
Do not operate with suspected failures. If you suspect that there is damage to this
product, have it inspected by qualified service personnel.
Disable the product if it is damaged. Do not use the product if it is damaged or
operates incorrectly. If in doubt about safety of the product, turn it off and
disconnect the power cord. Clearly mark the product to prevent its further
operation.
Before use, inspect voltage probes, test leads, and accessories for mechanical
damage and replace when damaged. Do not use probes or test leads if they are
damaged, if there is exposed metal, or if a wear indicator shows.
Examine the exterior of the product before you use it. Look for cracks or missing
pieces.
Use only specified replacement parts.
Do not operate in wet/damp conditions. Be aware that condensation may occur if a
unit is moved from a cold to a warm environment.
Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere.
iv 3 Series MDO Specifications and Performance Verification
Important safety information
Keep product surfaces clean and dry. Remove the input signals before you clean
the product.
Provide proper ventilation. Refer to the installation instructions in the manual for
details on installing the product so it has proper ventilation.
Slots and openings are provided for ventilation and should never be covered or
otherwise obstructed. Do not push objects into any of the openings.
Provide a safe working environment. Always place the product in a location
convenient for viewing the display and indicators.
Avoid improper or prolonged use of keyboards, pointers, and button pads.
Improper or prolonged keyboard or pointer use may result in serious injury.
Be sure your work area meets applicable ergonomic standards. Consult with an
ergonomics professional to avoid stress injuries.
Use care when lifting and carrying the product. This product is provided with a
handle or handles for lifting and carrying.
WARNING. The product is heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage
to the device get help when lifting or carrying the product.
Probes and test leads
Use only the Tektronix rackmount hardware specified for this product.
Before connecting probes or test leads, connect the power cord from the power
connector to a properly grounded power outlet.
Keep fingers behind the protective barrier, protective finger guard, or tactile
indicator on the probes.
Remove all probes, test leads and accessories that are not in use.
Use only correct Measurement Category (CAT), voltage, temperature, altitude,
and amperage rated probes, test leads, and adapters for any measurement.

Assumes that error due to aliasing is insignificant.
The term under the square-root sign is the stability, and is related to the TIE (Time Interval Error).
The errors from this term occur throughout a single-shot measurement. The second term is a result
of both the absolute center-frequency accuracy and the center-frequency stability of the timebase,
and varies between multiple single-shot measurements over the observation interval (the amount of
time from the first single-shot measurement to the final single-shot measurement).
