Installing your instrument
Operating requirements and setup information to begin using your instrument.
Install option upgrade licenses
Option license upgrades are field-installable licenses that you can purchase after receiving your instrument, to add features to your
oscilloscope. You install option upgrades by installing license files on the oscilloscope. Each option requires a separate license file.
Before you begin
These instructions do not pertain to options that were purchased and pre-installed on your instrument when ordered.
A node-locked license is valid only for the specific model number and serial number of the instrument for which it was purchased; it will not
work on any other instrument. The single license file does not affect options that were factory installed or any other upgrades that you may
have already purchased and installed.
About this task
Note: You can only install a Node Locked option license one time. If you need to reinstall an uninstalled Node Locked license,
contact Tektronix Customer Support.
Procedure
1. Follow the instructions you received to download the upgrade license file (<filename>.lic).
2. Copy the license file or files to a USB memory device.
3. Insert the USB drive into the powered-on oscilloscope for which the upgrade was purchased.
4. Select Help > About.
5. Select Install License to open the Browse License Files dialog box.
6. Find and select the upgrade license file to install.
7. Select Open. The oscilloscope installs the license and returns to the About screen. Verify that the installed license was added to the
Installed Options list.
8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 for each upgrade license file that you purchased and downloaded.
9. Power cycle the oscilloscope to enable the installed upgrades.
10. If you installed a bandwidth upgrade, rerun signal path compensation (SPC). Then carefully remove the model/bandwidth label from
the lower-left corner of the front panel and install the new model/bandwidth label that was sent through normal mail channels as part
of the upgrade purchase.
Operating requirements
Use the instrument within the required operating temperature, power, altitude, and signal input voltage ranges to provide the most accurate
measurements and safe instrument operation.

The battery door is made to easily detach from the hinges. The battery pack will still operate with the door open or removed.
2. Use the triangle alignment keys on top of the battery and battery pack slot to place the rechargeable battery into slot one or two.
The pull tab will be on the opposite side of the alignment key. A latch secures the battery in place when inserted into the battery pack.
3. Close and latch the battery pack door.

Probes connect the instrument to your device under test (DUT). Use a probe that best matches your signal measurement needs.
Connect a BNC passive probe or cable by pushing it onto a channel BNC bayonet connector and turn the lock mechanism clockwise until it
locks.
Rackmount option information
An optional rackmount kit lets you install the oscilloscope in standard equipment racks.
Please refer to your product's datasheet at www.tek.com for more information on rackmount options.

Getting acquainted with your instrument
Getting acquainted with your instrument
A high-level description of the instrument controls and user interface.
Front panel controls and connectors
The front panel controls provide direct access to key instrument settings such as vertical, horizontal, trigger, cursors, and zoom. The
connectors are where you input signals with probes or cables.
Description
1 Use the Acquisition controls to start and stop waveform acquisition, enable making a single waveform acquisition, calculate the
average of all the samples for each acquisition interval, and delete the current acquisitions and measurement values from memory.
2 Use the Multipurpose Knobs (A, B) to move cursors, adjust the zoom, and set parameter values in configuration menu input fields.
3 Use the Trigger controls to force a trigger event at a random point in the waveform and capture the acquisition, set the amplitude
level that the signal must pass through to be considered a valid transition, and set how the instrument behaves in the absence or
presence of a trigger event.
4 Use the Horizontal controls to move the waveform from side to side on the screen, and set the time per major horizontal graticule
division and samples/second parameters for the oscilloscope.
5 Use the Vertical controls to move the selected waveform up or down on the screen, set the amplitude units per vertical graticule
division of the selected waveform, turn on (display) or select channels, and add or select a math, reference (saved), bus, and digital
waveform on the Waveform view.
6 Use the Miscellaneous controls to turn touchscreen capability off, restore the oscilloscope settings to the default settings,
automatically display a stable waveform, and save files or settings (using the current File > Save As settings).
7 After connecting the supplied power cord, use the power button to power the instrument on and off. The power button color indicates
the following instrument states; amber is standby, blue is on, unlit is off.
When the batteries in the 2-BP battery pack on your instrument have a low battery charge and the power cord is not connected, the
power button will blink twice and then your instrument will turn off.
