iv MDO32, MDO34 Installation and Safety Manual
Important safety information
ООО "Техэнком" Контрольно-измерительные приборы и оборудование www.tehencom.com
Beware of high voltages. Understand the voltage ratings for the probe you are using and do not exceed those ratings. Two ratings are important to know and understand:
The maximum measurement voltage from the probe tip to the probe reference lead
The maximum floating voltage from the probe reference lead to earth ground
These two voltage ratings depend on the probe and your application. Refer to the Specifications section of the manual for more information.
WARNING. To prevent electrical shock, do not exceed the maximum measurement or maximum floating voltage for the oscilloscope input BNC connector, probe tip, or probe reference lead.
Connect and disconnect properly. Connect the probe output to the measurement product before connecting the probe to the circuit under test. Connect the probe reference lead to the circuit under test before connecting the probe input. Disconnect the probe input and the probe reference lead from the circuit under test before disconnecting the probe from the measurement product.
Connect and disconnect properly. De-energize the circuit under test before connecting or disconnecting the current probe.
Connect the probe reference lead to earth ground only.
Do not connect a current probe to any wire that carries voltages or frequencies above the current probe voltage rating.
Inspect the probe and accessories. Before each use, inspect probe and accessories for damage (cuts, tears, or defects in the probe body, accessories, or cable jacket). Do not use if damaged.
Ground-referenced oscilloscope use. Do not float the reference lead of this probe when using with ground-referenced oscilloscopes. The reference lead must be connected to earth potential (0 V).

Service safety summary

Safely rotate the handle

Use the correct process to eliminate the chance of pinching your thumb or rear-panel-connected cables while rotating the handle.
CAUTION. Hold the top of the handle to rotate the handle on the instrument. Do not hold the handle from the sides and rotate, as this can pinch the base of your thumb between the handle and the case.
If you have routed any cables between the handle and the case, be careful when rotating the handle so that you do not pinch the cables.

Powering the oscilloscope

Use this procedure to connect the oscilloscope to line power and power on and off the oscilloscope. Always connect the oscilloscope to AC power using the power cord that shipped with the instrument.
Prerequisite: Use the AC power cord that shipped with your oscilloscope.
1. Connect the supplied power cord to the oscilloscope power connector.
Figure 1: Power cord connector and power standby switch
2. Connect the power cord to an appropriate AC mains source.
Power is supplied to the power supply and some other boards whenever the AC power cord is connected to a live mains circuit, putting the instrument in standby mode.
3. Push the front panel power button to power the instrument on and off.
The power button color indicates instrument power states:
Unlit – no AC power applied
Yellow – standby mode
Blue – powered on
4. To completely remove power from the instrument, disconnect the power cord.

Check that the oscilloscope passes power-on self tests

Power-on self tests verify that all oscilloscope modules are working correctly after power up.
1. Power on the oscilloscope and wait until the oscilloscope screen appears.
2. Select Utility > Self Test from the top-edge Menu bar to open the Self Test configuration menu.
3. Check that the status of all power-on self tests are Passed.
If one or more power-on self tests shows Failed:
a. Power cycle the oscilloscope.
b. Tap Utility > Self Test. If one or more power-on self tests still shows Failed, contact Tektronix Customer Support.

Connecting probes

Probes and cables connect the oscilloscope to your device under test (DUT). Use a probe that best matches your signal measurement needs.
Figure 2: Connecting probes to the instrument
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 set probe parameters.
2. Tektronix Versatile Probe Interface (TekVPI) for Passive Probes
These probes build upon the functionality of the TekVPI interface. Each probe is matched with its corresponding oscilloscope channel, allowing the oscilloscope to optimize the signal input path. This provides AC compensation across the frequency band.
MDO32, MDO34 Installation and Safety Manual 5
Installing your instrument
ООО "Техэнком" Контрольно-измерительные приборы и оборудование www.tehencom.com
3. TPA-BNC Adapter
The TPA-BNC Adapter allows you to use TEKPROBE II probe capabilities, such as providing probe power and passing scaling and unit information to the oscilloscope.
4. BNC Interfaces
Some of these use TEKPROBE capabilities to pass the waveform signal and scaling to the oscilloscope. Some only pass the signal and there is no other communication.
5. Logic Probe Interface
The P6316 probe provides 16 channels of digital (logical one or zero) information.
6. The TPA-N-VPI Adapter allows you to use TekVPI probes with the RF input.
Connect TPP0250, TPP0500B, TPP1000, TekVPI+, TekVPI, or other supported Tektronix analog probes by pushing them into an input connector. The probe base latch locks with a 'click' when the probe is fully seated.
TekVPI probes automatically set the channel input parameters for that probe (bandwidth, attenuation, termination, and so on). If a probe has a Menu button, push that button to open an on-screen configuration menu. Follow instructions provided with active probes to set their parameters (auto zero, degauss, and so on).
Connect a BNC probe or cable by pushing it onto a channel BNC bayonet connector and turn the lock mechanism clockwise until it locks.
For more information on the many probes available for use with 3 Series MDO oscilloscopes, visit the Oscilloscope Probe and Accessory Selector Tool on the Tektronix website at www.tektronix.com.
NOTE. Connecting a probe does not automatically enable that channel (make it active). Use the instrument controls or programmatic interface to turn on a channel and open its configuration menu to verify or change probe or cable settings (bandwidth, attenuation, termination and so on).

Rackmount information

The optional RM3 Rackmount Kit lets you install the oscilloscope in standard equipment racks. The rack mount requires six rack units (6U) of space to install.
Contact Tektronix Customer Support to purchase the rackmount kit option RM3. Follow the instructions that come with the rackmount kit (RM3 Rackmount Kit Instructions, Tektronix part number 071-3609-xx).
Make sure to allow at least two inches of clearance on the sides for air ventilation and on the back for any cables you attach to the rear panel.

Remote access from a Web browser

You can remotely access your network-connected instrument from a Web browser to display the instrument user interface on a PC.
This procedure describes how to remotely access the UI controls and screen for the instrument.
Prerequisites:
The oscilloscope must be connected to, and accessible from, the network to which the PC is connected. See Connect to a
network (LAN) on page 34
Determine the IP address of the oscilloscope that you want to access. To determine the oscilloscope's IP address, select
Utility > IO in the oscilloscope menu bar and view the network settings in the LAN panel.
1. Open a Web browser on a PC connected to the same network as the oscilloscope.
2. Enter just the oscilloscope IP address on the URL line of the browser and press Enter. For example: 135.62.88.157. The
browser searches for and opens the Web page for the oscilloscope.

Connect the oscilloscope to a PC using a USB cable

Use a USB cable to connect the oscilloscope directly to a PC for remote instrument control.
1. On the oscilloscope, select Utility > I/O from the menu bar.
2. Tap USB Device Port.
3. Confirm that the USB Device Port control is On (default setting).
4. Connect a USB cable from the PC to the USB Device port on the rear of the instrument.
5. If using the USB connection to remotely control the oscilloscope using GPIB commands, set the GPIB Talk/Listen Address

Cleaning

Use a dry, soft cotton cloth to clean the outside of the unit. If any dirt remains, use a cloth or swab dipped in a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution. Use a swab to clean narrow spaces around controls and connectors. Do not use any liquid cleaning agents or chemicals that could damage the touchscreen, case, controls, markings or labels, or possibly infiltrate the case.
