Cleaning

Inspect the oscilloscope and probes as often as operating conditions require. To clean the exterior surface, perform the following steps:

1.Remove loose dust on the outside of the oscilloscope and probes with a lint-free cloth. Use care to avoid scratching the clear glass display filter.

2.Use a soft cloth dampened with water to clean the oscilloscope. Use an aqueous solution of 75% isopropyl alcohol for more efficient cleaning.

CAUTION. To avoid damage to the surface of the oscilloscope or probes, do not use any abrasive or chemical cleaning agents.

Installation

Connecting Probes

The DPO4000 oscilloscope supports probes with the following:

1.Tektronix Versatile Probe Interface (TekVPI)

These probes support two-way communication with the oscilloscope through on-screen menus and remotely through programmable support. The remote control is useful in applications like ATE where you want the system to preset probe parameters.

2.TPA-BNC Adapter

The TPA-BNC Adapter allows you to use TekProbe Level II probe capabilities, such as providing probe power and passing information to the oscilloscope on scaling and whether the units are volts or amperes.

3.Plain BNC interfaces

These probes only pass the waveform signal to the oscilloscope. There is no other communication.

Installation

Powering On the Oscilloscope

Ground the Oscilloscope and Yourself

Before pushing the power switch, connect the oscilloscope to an electrically neutral reference point, such as earth ground. Do this by plugging the three-pronged power cord into an outlet grounded to earth ground.

Grounding the oscilloscope is necessary for safety and to take accurate measurements. The oscilloscope needs to share the same ground as any circuits that you are testing.

DPO4000 Series User Manual

11

Installation

If you are working with static sensitive components, ground yourself. Static electricity that builds up on your body can damage static-sensitive components. Wearing a grounding strap safely sends static charges on your body to earth ground.
