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. Avoid getting moisture inside the unit during external cleaning. Use only enough cleaning solution to dampen
the cloth or swab.
CAUTION. To avoid damage to the surface of the oscilloscope or probes, do not use any abrasive or chemical cleaning
agents.
MSO3000 and DPO3000 Series Oscilloscopes User Manual7
Installation
Connecting Probes
The 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. Tektronix Versatile Probe Interface
(TekVPI) for Passive Probes
These probes build upon the functionality
of the TekVPI interface. Each probe
is matched with the corresponding
oscilloscope channel, allowing the
oscilloscope to optimize the signal input
path. This provides AC compensation
across the frequency band.
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. Digital Probe Interface (MSO3000 Series
only)
The P6316 probe provides 16 channels
of digital (on or off state) information.
For more information on the many probes available for use with MSO3000 and DPO3000 Series oscilloscopes, r efer to

Installing an Application Module
CAUTION. To avoid damage to the oscilloscope or application module, observe ESD (electrostatic discharge) precautions.
(See page 9, Pow
Turn off the oscilloscope power while removing or adding an application module.
(See page 10, Powering Off the Oscilloscope.)
Optional application module packages extend the capability of your oscilloscope.
You can physically install up to four application modules at one time. Application modules go into the two slots with windows
in the upper right corner of the front-panel. Two additional slots are directly behind the two that you can see. To use these
slots, install the module with the label facing away from you.
Each module has a license, which you can optionally transfer between your application modules and oscilloscope. You can
keep each license in the module, which will allow you to move the module from one instrument to another.
Alternatively, you can move the license from the module to the oscilloscope. This approach will allow you to store the module
separately from the oscilloscope for safe keeping. This approach will also allow you to use more than four applications on
your oscilloscope simultaneously.
To transfer a license from a module to your osc illoscope or from your oscilloscope to a module:
ering On the Oscilloscope.)
Installation
1. Turn off the power to the oscilloscope. Insert the application modules in the oscilloscope. Turn on the power.
2. Push Utility on the front-panel. If needed, push Utility Page on the lower menu and turn multipurpose knob a to select
Config. Push Manage Modules and Optio ns on the lower menu, and then push License Type on the side menu until
“Modules” is selected. The licenses contained in the oscilloscope will be listed in the size menu. Push the button next to
the appropriate license to transfer. You may transfer up to four licenses at one time.
3. After you turn off the power to the oscilloscope, you can remove the physical application module from the oscilloscope.
Refer to the MSO3000 and DPO 3000 Series Oscilloscopes Application Module Installation Manual that came with your
application module for instructions on installing and testing an application module.
NOTE. If you transfer a license from a module to an oscilloscope, the module will not work on another oscilloscope until
you transfer the license back from the oscilloscope to the module. Consider putting the physical module in an envelope
or other storage with a label with the date, the module name, and the model and serial number of the oscilloscope, which
holds the license. This will help prevent trouble later if someone finds the module, installs it in some other oscilloscope,
and wonders why it does not work.

Signal Path Compensation
Signal Path Compensation (SPC) corrects for DC inaccuracies caused by temperature variations and/or long-term drift.
Run the compensation whenever the ambient temperature has changed by more than 10 °C (18 °F) or once a week
if you use vertical settings of 5 mV/division or less. Failure to do so may result in the instrument not meeting warranted
performance levels at those volts/div settings.
To compensate the signal path:
1. Warm up the oscilloscope for at least
20 minutes. Remove all input signals
(probes and cables) from channel inputs.
Input signals with AC components adversely
affect SPC.

Acquisition is the process of sampling an
analog signal, converting it into digital

record, which is then stored in acquisition
memory.
Real-Time Sampling

On when you want to delay the acquisition
relative to the trigger event.
With Delay set to On, turn the Horizontal Position knob counterclockwise to increase the delay. The trigger point will move
to the left and ultimately outside of the acquired waveform. Then you can adjust the Horizontal Scale knob to acquire more
detail around the area of interest at the center of the screen.
When this delay is on, the trigger point separates from the horizontal expansion point. The horizontal expansion point
stays at the center of the screen. The trigger point can move off the screen. When this happens, the trigger marker turns
to point in the direction of the trigger point.
Use the delay feature when you want to acquire waveform detail that is separated from the trigger event by a significant
interval of time. For example, you can trigger on a sync pulse that occurs once every 10 ms and then look at high-speed
signal characteristics that occur 6 ms after the sync pulse.
When the delay feature is set to Off, the expansion point is tied to the trigger point so that scale changes are centered
around the trigger point.

I2C, and CAN buses transmit the MSB (most significant bit) first
SPI buses do not specify a bit order
RS-232 and LIN buses transmit the LSB (least significant bit) first
NOTE. The oscilloscope displays the decode traces and event tables for all buses with the MSB on the left and LSB
on the right.
For example, an RS-232 signal (after the start bit) might be high, high, high, low, high, low, low, and high. Since the RS-232
protocol uses high for z ero and low for one, this value would be 0001 0110.
Since the decode displays the MSB first, the oscilloscope reverses the order of the bits and displays 0110 1000. If the bus
display is set to hex, the value displays as 68. If the bus display is set to ASCII, the value displays as h.

Trigger Setup
Trigger Setup
This section contains concepts and procedures for setting up the oscilloscope to trigger on your signal.
Triggering Concepts
Trigger Event
The trigger event establishes the time-reference point in the waveform record. All waveform record data is located in time
with respect to that point. The instrument continuously acquires and retains enough sample points to fill the pretrigger portion
of the waveform record. That is the part of the waveform that is displayed before, or to the left of, the triggering event on
screen. When a trigger event occurs, the instrument starts acquiring samples to build the posttrigger portion of the waveform
record, that is, the part displayed after or to the right of the trigger event. After a trigger is recognized, the instrument will not
accept another trigger until the acquisition is complete and the holdoff time has expired.
Untrigg
ered display
Trigger
ed display
Trigger Modes
The trigger mode determines how the instrument behaves in the absence of a trigger event:
Normal trigger mode enables the instrument to acquire a waveform only when it is triggered. If no trigger occurs, the last
waveform record acquired remains on the display. If no last waveform exists, no waveform is displayed.
Auto trigger mode enables the instrument to acquire a waveform even if a trigger does not occur. Auto mode uses a
timer that starts when the acquisition is started, and the pretrigger information is obtained. If a trigger event is not
detected before the timer times out, the instrument forces a trigger. The length of time it waits for a trigger event
depends on the time base setting.
Auto mode, when forcing triggers in the absence of valid triggering events, does not synchronize the waveform on the
display. The waveform will appear to roll across the screen. If valid triggers occur, the display will become stable.
You can also force the instrument to trigger by pushing Force Trig on the front-panel.
