This chapter contains specifications for the MSO3000 and DPO3000 Series oscilloscopes. All specifications are guaranteed
unless noted as "typical." Typical specifications are provided for your convenience but are not guaranteed. Specifications
that are marked with the
All specifications apply to all MSO3000 and DPO3000 models unless noted otherwise. To meet specifi cations, two
conditions must first be met:
The oscilloscope must have been operating continuously for twenty minutes within the operating temperature range
specified.
You must perform the Signal Path Compensation (SPC) operation described in this manual prior to evaluating
specifications. (See page 48.) If the operating temperature changes by more than 10 °C (18 °F), you must perform
the SPC operation again.

There is an overvoltage trip circuit, int ended to protect against overloads that might damage
termination resistors. A sufficiently large impulse can cause damage regardless of the overvoltage

You may need additional cables and adapters, depending on the actual test equipment you use.
These procedures cover all MSO/DPO3000 models. Please disregard any checks that do not apply to the specific model
you are testing.
Print the test record on the following pages and use it to record the performance test results for your oscilloscope.
NOTE. Completion of the performance verification procedure does not update the stored time and date of the latest
successful adjustment. The date and time are updated only when the adjustment procedures in the service manual are
successfully completed.

The performance verification procedures verify the performance of your instrument. They do not adjust your instrument. If
your instrument fails any of the performance verification tests, you should perform the factory adjustment procedures as
described in the MSO3000 and DPO3000 Series Service Manual.

Upgrade the Firmware
For the best functionality, you can upgrade the oscilloscope firmware. To upgrade the firmware, follow these steps:
1. Open a Web browser and go to www.tektronix.com/software/downloads to locate the most recent firmware upgrade.
2. Download the latest firmware for your oscilloscope onto your PC.
3. Unzip the files and copy the "firmware.img" file into the root folder of a USB flash drive.
4. Power off your oscilloscope.
5. Insert the USB flash drive into a USB Host port on the front or back of the oscilloscope.
6. Power on the oscilloscope. The oscilloscope automatically recognizes the replacement firmware and installs it.
If the instrument does not install the firmware, rerun the procedure. If the problem continues, contact qualified service
personnel.
NOTE. Do not power off the oscilloscope or remove the USB flash drive until the oscilloscope finishes installing the firmware.
7. Power off the oscilloscope and remove the USB flash drive.
8. Power on the oscilloscope.
9. Push the Utility button on the front-panel.
10. Push Utility Page on the lower menu.
11. Turn Multipurpose knob “a” and select Config.
12. Push About on the lower menu. The oscilloscope displays the firmware version number.
13. Confirm that the version number matches that of the new firmware.
The oscilloscope displays a message when the installation is complete.

Performance Verification Procedures
The following three conditions must be met prior to performing these procedures:
1. The oscilloscope must have been operating continuously for twenty (20) minutes in an environment that meets the
operating range specifications for temperature and humidity.
2. You must perform a signal path compensation (SPC). (See Self Tests — System Diagnostics and Signal Path
Compensation section below.) If the operating temperature changes by more than 10 °C (18 °F), you must perform the
signal path compensation again.
3. You must connect the oscilloscope and the test equipment to the same AC power circuit. Connect the oscilloscope
and test instruments into a common power strip if you are unsure of the AC power circuit distribution. Connecting the
oscilloscope and test instruments into separate AC power circuits can result in offset voltages between the equipment,
which can invalidate the performance verification procedure.
The time required to complete all the procedures is approximately one hour.
WARNING. Some procedures use hazardous voltages. To prevent electrical shock, always set voltage source outputs
to 0 V before making or changing any interconnections.
