USB interfaceOne USB connector (the second USB is disabled because of internal
3 trigger cycles, where each cycle is defined as (holdoff time + trigger
latency). For example:
With holdoff set to its minimum 5 s setting, and a 2. 500 GHz clock
signal applied to the External Direct Trigger input (a period of 400 ps),
the Enable-to-Acquire delay is approximated as 3 x (5 s + 0.0004 s)
= 15.0012 s.
The Enable-to-Acquire delay is the amount of time after the Gated
Trigger has been enabled (the level goes from TTL LOW to HIGH)
when the first valid sample is retained by the system as the beginning
of the waveform record length. When the Gated Trigger is enabled and
triggers begin to occur, the system will reject the first three samples to
avoid system recovery conditions. Once the first three points have been
discarded, then the next valid trigger cycle will be the first point of the
record section.
The system checks the status of the gated Trigger approximately once
per holdoff and re-arm cycle. If the Gated Trigger is disabled
immediately after this system check, it will allow nominally a maximum
time of (holdoff + trigger period) to elapsed before the checking for the
status of the Gated Trigger input, recognizing the disable condition, and
halting any further sampling of the signal.

Pollution Degree DescriptionsA measure of the contaminates that could occur in the environment around and within a product.
Typically the internal environment inside a product is considered to be the same as the external.
Products should be used only in the environment for which they are rated.
Pollution Degree 2Normally only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs. Occasionally a
temporary conductivity that is caused by condensation must be
expected. This location is a typical office/home environment.
Temporary condensation occurs only when the product is out of

Horizontal timing susceptibility of the optical sampling modules and their internal clock recovery trigger signals usually
increase the horizontal timing jitter when external electromagnetic fields are applied. For fields up to 3 V/m, the increase
in the horizontal high-frequency RM S ji tter is typically less than 3 ps RMS of jitter, added using the square-root-of-thesum-of-the-squares method. An example follows:
If an 80C01-CR operating i n clock-recovery trigger mode exhibits 3.5 ps RMS of edge jitter, with no EMC field applied and
for an ideal jitterless input, then for applied fields up to 3 V/m the edge jitter, degradation would typically result in a total
RMS jitter of:

Vertical operating range defines the maximum range over which the offset plus peak
input signal can operate. The offset may be limited as a function of vertical
sensitivity and dynamic range, such that no signal exceeding the maximum
operating range can be displayed.
Vertical nondestruct range defines the maximum range over which offset plus peak
input signal can operate without irreversible damage to the instrument. Operation to
instrument specification is not guarantied outside of the vertical operating range.

Check the Environmental Requirements
Read this section before attempting any installation procedures. This section
describes site considerations, power requirements, and ground connections for
your instrument.
Site Considerations
Operating Requirements
The instrument is designed to operate on a bench or on a cart in the normal
position (on the bottom feet). For proper cooling, at least two inches (5.1 cm) of
clearance is recommended on the sides of the instrument.
You can also operate the instrument while it rests on its rear feet. Make sure that
you properly route any cables coming out of the rear of the instrument to avoid
damaging them.
CAUTION. Keep the bottom of the instrument clear of obstructions to ensure
proper cooling.
Specifications in chapter 1 list the operating requirements for the instrument.
Power source and temperature, humidity, and altitude are listed.

Rackmount Requirements
If this instrument is rackmounted, see the TDS8000 & CSA8000 Rackmount
Instructions for additional site considerations or operating requirements. This
document ships with the Option 1R (rackmount kit).
Install the Sampling Modules
CAUTION. Do not install or remove any sampling modules while the instrument is
powered on.
Always power the instrument down before attempting to remove or insert any
sampling module.
WARNING. Sampling modules are inherently vulnerable to static damage. Always
observe static-safe procedures and cautions as outlined in your sampling module
user manual.
Check Your Sampling
Module Manual(s)
The sampling modules ship with the appropriate sampling-module user manual.
Read these manuals for instructions on how to install your sampling modules.
NOTE. To find sampling module user manuals, check in the appendices of the
CSA8000B & TDS8000B User Manual. Users are instructed to insert their
sampling-module user manuals there.
NOTE. After first installing a sampling module(s) or after moving a sampling
module from one compartment to another, you should run compensation from the
Utilities menu to ensure the instrument meets its accuracy specifications. You
must run a compensation (accessed from the Utilities menu) whenever the
extender configuration is changed from that present at the last compensation. In
short, if you install or remove an 80E00 extender, run a compensation. If you
exchange a extender for one of a different length, run a compensation. For
instructions on running a compensation, see Perform the Compensation on
page 4--5.

CAUTION. Connect the keyboard, mouse, and other accessories before applying
power to the product. Connecting the accessories after powering on the
instrument can damage the accessories. Two exceptions are the USB keyboard
and mouse that ships with the instrument. Both can be plugged or unplugged
without first turning power off.
2. Connect the keyboard and mouse, observing the caution above. Note that the
instrument ships with a USB keyboard, which plugs into the USB port (see
Figure 2--3 on page 2--5 for location) and a USB mouse, which plugs into
the back of the USB keyboard.
NOTE. Connection of the keyboard and mouse is optional. You can operate most
features without them, using the front-panel controls and the touchscreen.

Powering Off the Instrument
The instrument has a built-in soft power-down function that safely powers down
the instrument when you push the On/Standby button. You do not need to close
the UI application or Windows 98 before using the On/Standby button.
To completely remove power to the instrument, first soft power-down the
instrument using the On/Standby button, and then set the power switch on the
rear panel to off.
You can restore the UI application to the screen by clicking its button in the
Windows Task bar.

Software Installation
This section describes how to install the system software found on the 8000
Series OS Rebuild CDs that accompany this product. The instrument ships with
the product software installed, so only perform these procedures if reinstallation
becomes necessary.
Description
Software Release Notes
The product software comprises two parts:
HWindow 98. Windows 98 comes preinstalled on the instrument. Windows 98
is the operating system on which the user-interface application of this
product runs. The System Rebuild CD, which can be used to rebuild the
instrument hard drive, includes the Window 98 operating system installation.
If you need to reinstall Windows 98, you may be able to do so without
rebuilding the instrument hard drive. See Operating System Reinstallation on
page 2--8 for more information.
HUser Interface (UI) Application. The UI application complements the
hardware controls of the front panel, allowing complete set up of all
instrument features. The System Rebuild CD includes the UI application
installation as part of a complete hard drive rebuild.
Read the software release notes README.TXT ASCII file if present on the
System Rebuild CD before performing any installation procedures. This file
contains additional installation and operation information that supercedes other
product documentation.
To view the README.TXT file, open the Notepad Windows accessory and open
the file on the System Rebuild CD. After installation, you can also read the copy
from a directory on the product:

Reinstallation

Use the following procedure if reinstalling Windows 98 becomes necessary.
NOTE. Only do the reinstall if Windows 98 is missing or corrupted.
There are two possibilities for reinstall:
HThe instrument can reboot from the hard drive; if so, reinstall windows using
the emergency startup disk and the procedure Windows 98 Reinstall Only on
page 2--9.
HThe instrument cannot reboot from the hard drive or you do not have an
emergency startup disk available. In either case, you must rebuild your hard

drive using the procedure System Hard Drive Rebuild on page 2--9. Any
files or programs you have installed will be lost.
Windows 98 Reinstall Only. If you can reboot from the instrument hard drive and
you have your emergency startup disk, you can reinstall Windows 98 from the
hard drive. This procedure is preferred over rebuilding the hard drive, since the
rebuild rewrites the entire hard drive.
1. Power off the instrument. Use the On/S tandby switch if possible; if not, use
the principle power switch found at the back of the instrument.
2. If a keyboard is not connected to the instrument, connect it.
3. Insert your emergency startup disk in the instrument floppy drive.
4. Power on the instrument. Make sure the principle power switch at the back
of the instrument is set on. Push the On/Standby switch on the front panel.
5. The instrument should now boot from the emergency startup disk and
present you with a selection menu. Use the arrow and enter keys to choose
Start the computer without CDROM support.
System Diagnostics
6. At the a:\ prompt, type c:. Then type cd windows\options\cabs.
7. Type setup. Follow the instructions on screen.
NOTE. At the a:\ prompt, you can type help at anytime to read a file that may be
helpful in getting the Windows 98 operating system up and running.
System Hard Drive Rebuild. If you cannot reboot from the instrument hard drive,
you must rebuild the instrument hard drive. This process will return the hard disk
to the its original condition present when the instrument shipped.
Since data and programs you may have installed are lost with this rebuild, you
should do the Windows 98 Reinstall Only procedure instead if you can. (See
Windows 98 Reinstall Only on page 2--9.)
If you must rebuild the system hard drive, use the System R ebuild CD that
shipped with the instrument. Follow the instructions in the booklet found in the
CD case.
In case of instrument problems, you may wish to run the system diagnostics. If
so, see the procedure Perform the Diagnostics,onpage4--3.

Installation
Windows Safe Mode
If the instrument is turned off before the operating system boots, or if you’ve
installed a third-party product with a driver incompatible with instrument start
up, Windows 98 will open in Safe mode. The touchscreen will be inoperable;
therefore, you must install the standard-accessory mouse and keyboard to operate
the instrument.
When you have finished investigating and removed any barrier to Windows
start-up, you can reboot. If the instrument no longer boots to Safe mode, you can
remove the keyboard and mouse if desired.
