Help System
The oscilloscope has a Help system with topics that cover all the features of the
oscilloscope. You can use the Help system to display several kinds of information:
General information about understanding and using the oscilloscope, such
as Using the Menu System.
Information about specific menus and controls, such as the Vertical Position
Control.
Advice about problems you may face while using an oscilloscope, such as
Reducing Noise.
The Help system provides several ways to find the information you need:
context-sensitive help, hyperlinks, and an index.
Context-Sensitive Help
Hyperlinks
Index
The oscilloscope displays information about the last menu displayed on the
screen when y ou push the HELP front-panel button. When viewing help topics,
an LED lights next to the multipurpose knob to indicate that the knob is active.
If the topic uses more than one page, turn the multipurpose knob to move from
page to page within the topic.
Most of the help topics contain phrases marked with angle bracket s, such as
<Autoset>. These are links to other topics. Turn the multipurpose knob to move
the highlight from one link to another. Push the Show Topic option button to
display the topic corresponding to the highlighted link. Push the Back option
button to return to the previous topic.
Push the front-panel HELP button, then push the Index option button. Push the
Page Up or Page Down option buttons until you find the index page that contains
the topic you want to view. Turn the multipurpose knob to highlight a help topic.
Push the Show Topic option button to display the topic.
NOTE. Push the Exit option button or any menu button to remove the Help text
from the screen and return to displaying waveforms.
Firmware Updates Through the Internet
If a newer version of firmware becomes available, you can use the Internet and

from electric shock.

the guard on the probe body.
To avoid electric shock while using the probe, do not touch metallic portions of
the probe head while it is connected to a voltage source.
Connect the probe to the oscilloscope, and connect the ground terminal to ground
before you take any measurements.
Voltage Probe Check Wizard

Self Calibration
elf calibration routine lets you optimize the oscilloscope signal path for
The s
maximum measurement accuracy. You can run the routine at any time but you
should always run the routine if the ambient temperature changes by 5 °C (9 °F)
or more. The routine takes about two minutes.
For accurate calibration, power on the oscilloscope and wait twenty minutes to
ensure it is warmed up.
To compensate the signal path, disconnect any probes or cables from the input
connectors. Then, access the UTILITY ► Do Self Cal option, and follow the
directions on the screen.
