2
Emissions which exceed the levels required by this standard may occur when this equipment is connected to a test object.
3
If interconnect cables are used, they must be high quality, low-EMI shielded cables.
4
Equipment may not meet the immunity requirements of this standard when test leads and/or test probes are connected due to coupling of electromagnetic interference onto those leads/probes. To minimize the influence of electromagnetic interference, minimize the loop area between the unshielded portions of signal and associated return leads, and keep leads as far away as possible from electromagnetic disturbance sources. Twisting unshielded test leads together is an effective way to reduce loop area. For probes, keep the ground return lead as short as possible and close to the probe body. Some probes have accessory probe tip adapters to accomplish this most effectively. In all cases, observe all safety instructions for the probes or leads used.
5
The performance criterion for when the oscilloscope is subjected to the continuously present electromagnetic phenomenon: 10 mV/division to 1 V/division: ≤0.4 division waveform displacement or ≤0.8 division increase in peak–to–peak noise.

Preventing instrument damage

Preventing ESD

980 W
CAUTION. A direct electrostatic discharge can damage the instrument input. To learn how to avoid this damage, read the following information.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a concern when handling any electronic equipment. The instrument is designed with robust ESD protection, however it is still possible that large discharges of static electricity directly into the signal input may damage the instrument. To avoid damage to the instrument, use the following techniques to prevent electrostatic discharge to the instrument.
1. Discharge the static voltage from your body by wearing a grounded antistatic wrist strap while connecting and disconnecting cables and TekConnect adapters. The instrument provides a front panel connection for this purpose.

2. A cable that is left unconnected on a bench, or carried across a room, can develop a large static charge. Discharge the static voltage from all cables before connecting them to the instrument or device under test by momentarily grounding the center conductor of the cable, or by connecting a 50 Ω termination to one end, before attaching the cable to the instrument.
CAUTION. Do not use a tool (such as a screwdriver, wrench end, etc) to short the center conductor to the ground shell on the connector, as any sort of scratch or nick may damage the RF response of the cable.

Observe maximum input voltage

WARNING. Observe all terminal ratings. To avoid damaging the instrument, observe all rating and markings on the product. Consult the product manual for further ratings information before making connections to the product.
Do not apply a potential to any terminal, including the common terminal, that exceeds the maximum rating of that terminal.
The maximum input voltage for the ATI (Asynchronous Time-Interleaved) input is ±0.75 Vpk. This is the maximum voltage before damage occurs.
The maximum input voltage for the TekConnect inputs is ±1.5 V relative to the termination bias (30 mA maximum) on ≤ 1.2 V full scale settings and 8 V on >1.2 V full scale settings.

Selecting the proper attenuator

The ATI input has a maximum voltage range of 300 mVFS. Use of an attenuator can increase the maximum voltage range.
Table 4: Maximum ATI voltage range
Attenuator Maximum ATI voltage range
None 300 mV
3 dB 420 mV
6 dB 600 mV
10 dB 950 mV
16 dB (6 dB + 10 dB attenuators) 1.88 V
20 dB 3 V

Connector cleaning

All connectors must be kept clean. Dirt in connectors can damage the connector and any connectors the dirty connector is used with. Dirt will also likely impair the RF performance. All cables, attenuators, and adapters should be stored with connector covers to keep dust out.
Before each use do the following:
DPO70000SX Series User 5
Install your instrument
1. Verify that the connectors are free of dirt, metal particles, scratches and deformations.
2. Verify the connectors are the correct size.
WARNING. To avoid eye damage, ware eye protection when using compressed air.
3. With the connector pointed down, use low pressure compressed air, at an angle to the connector, to clean the connectors.
4. If the connector still needs cleaning, use an appropriately sized swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol to clean the connector threads and mating surfaces. Do not snag the center conductor.
CAUTION. Never put pressure on the center pin of the connectors. Applying pressure to the center pin could damage the connector.

Proper connection technique

Use 8 inch-pounds of torque when making connections to the ATI 1.85 mm connector, SMA connectors, adapters, DC Blocks, or cables. Using the improper torque or connection technique may degrade your signals and damage the connectors.
Use the following procedure to make connections to the ATI input:
CAUTION. Failure to use the supplied backing wrench and torque wrench when making connections to the ATI input may damage your instrument.

Install your instrument
1. Discharge the static voltage from your body by wearing a grounded antistatic wrist strap while connecting and disconnecting cables and adapters. The instrument provides a front panel connection for this purpose. Use the ground connection with the black plastic grommet, as this has a 1 MΩ series isolation resistance, so that there is no chance of shock, but the static voltage can be discharged.
Figure 1: Wear an antistatic wrist strap
2. Use the supplied connector saver to protect the instrument connector. When not in use, protect against dirt and ESD
damage by installing the end cap. Alternate locations to store the ATI protective cover include the upper right corner of the front panel and to the right of the audio connectors on the rear panel. When installing the connector saver tighten to 8 inch­pounds.
CAUTION. The connector saver can appear to tighten/loosen opposite to expectations because the oscilloscope ATI input connector is a male connector.
Figure 2: Installing a connector saver
3. Use the backing wrench on the connector saver to prevent damage caused by rotation of the connectors when installing a
connector.
