Getting Started
Attaching the Pouch
Use the following procedure to attach the pouch to the oscilloscope. The
procedure does not require you to use any special tools or equipment or to
remove any cabinet parts.
NOTE. To ensure correct assembly, read and rehearse this entire procedure before
you remove the backing on the Velcro adhesive (step 2).
1. Place the pouch assembly on a flat surface with the bottom of the mounting
plate facing up.
2. Remove the adhesive backing from the Velcro strip. Leave the mating pieces
of the Velcro attached to each other and properly aligned.
CAUTION. To ensure proper positioning of the mounting plate, do not let the
adhesive on the Velcro touch any surface until you properly position and insert
the front edge of the mounting plate.

3. Position the pouch assembly above the cabinet and insert the front edge of
the mounting plate (Figure 1).

4. With the front edge fully inserted, carefully lay the pouch plate down on top
of the cabinet and allow the adhesive to stick (Figure 2). Insert your fingers
between the pouches and press down on the mounting plate along the entire
length of the adhesive — this securely affixes the adhesive.
Press down on area between
pouches to affix the adhesive.
Figure 2: Securing the mounting plate adhesive
5. Lift the pouch plate carefully away from the cabinet making sure the Velcro
strip you just adhered stays in place.
6. Refer to Figure 3. Cover the Velcro on the cabinet with a piece of paper. (The
paper keeps the Velcro on the pouch plate and the cabinet from sticking
together while you position the rear edge of the pouch plate.)
7. Flex the pouch plate upward by grasping the rear of the pouch plate and
pushing toward the front of the oscilloscope.

9. Slide the front and rear ends of the mounting plate from side to side to
ensure that they are properly locked into place.
10. Lift the center of the mounting plate slightly and remove the paper.
11. Press down the mounting plate over the Velcro strip.
CAUTION. Do not use the D-ring foot at the rear of the pouch plate to lift the
oscilloscope. Using the D-ring to lift the oscilloscope may pull the accessory
pouch off the oscilloscope, resulting in damage to the oscilloscope.

Getting Started
Installing the Printer
Install the printer in the rear pouch and connect it to the oscilloscope through two
cables; one cable supplies the power and the other carries printer data.
1. Remove the adhesive backing from the strips of Velcro inside the rear pouch.
Carefully position the printer over the Velcro and firmly press the printer into
place.
Figure 4: Printer and cable orientation

TDS Printer Pack Instructions
Getting Started
2. Carefully lift the printer out of the pouch making sure the Velcro strips stay
attached to the printer.
3. Locate the power jack on the rear of the printer, position it near the cutout on
the pouch, and plug in the right-angle end of the power cable.
4. Connect the data cable to the Centronics compatable connector on the rear of
the printer. Secure the cable with the clips on the connector.
5. Place the printer in the rear compartment of the pouch and seat the Velcro.
6. Route the power and data cables through the opening in the rear of the
printer pouch. See Figure 5.
TDS Printer Pack Instructions
Figure 5: Connecting the cables from the printer to the oscilloscope
7. Route the data cable so that it lies close to the cabinet to avoid interfering
with the power cord that coils around the feet on the rear panel.
8. Connect and secure the 25-pin “D” connector of the data cable to the parallel
printer connector on the oscilloscope.
9. Connect the power cable to the printer power jack on the oscilloscope.

TDS Printer Pack Instructions
Specifications
This section provides specifications for the digitizing oscilloscope with the
printer pack installed. It begins with a general description of the printer pack
option. Three subsections follow, one for each of three classes of traits: nominaltraits, warranted characteristics, and typical characteristics.
General Product Description
The printer pack provides the digitizing oscilloscope with integrated thermal
printer capability. Here are some key features of the printer pack:
HDurable pouch, mounted conveniently on top of the oscilloscope, provides
protection for the printer and supplies additional storage for spare paper,
probes, and other accessories.
HPrinter power supplied by the RS-232/Centronics adapter allows you to
move and operate the printer as part of the oscilloscope.
HLightweight and durable printer uses four-inch thermal paper for high-con-
trast hard copies.
Nominal Traits
HA 128 K-word printer spooler allows you to use the oscilloscope while a
hard copy is printing (TDS 400 and TDS 400A Series only).
Nominal trait descriptions are simple statements of fact. For example, “640 ×
480” is a description for the trait “Pixel resolution” rather than the limit of a
performance requirement.
