INTRODUCTION

Introducing HDO9000

HDO9000 high definition oscilloscopes leverage HD1024 technology to
deliver 10 bits of resolution on up to 4 GHz of bandwidth. The large, bright,

15.4” capacitive touch screen combined with the MAUI with OneTouch
user interface results in an unsurpassed user experience. Equipped with
a 40 GS/s sample rate and an extensive toolbox, the HDO9000 ensures
uncompromised performance when debugging in high definition.

HD1024

HD1024 high definition technology enables dynamic reconfiguration
of the ADC to achieve 10 bits of vertical resolution. By automatically
determining the best ADC configuration for each measuring condition,
the HDO9000 always provides the optimal resolution. HD1024 plus a low
noise system architecture delivers superior signal fidelity up to 4 GHz,
resulting in ENOB in excess of 7 bits.

MAUI with OneTouch

MAUI with OneTouch introduces a new paradigm for oscilloscope user
experience. Dramatically reduce set up time with revolutionary drag-and­drop actions, and use familiar touch screen gestures like pinch, swipe and
flick to intuitively interact with the instrument.

Mixed Signal Option

The 16 integrated digital channels and tools designed to view, measure
and analyze both analog and digital signals enable fast debugging of
mixed signal designs.

Comprehensive Analysis Tools

HDO9000 has the most comprehensive trigger, decode, math, measure
and application toolsets available in its class. Apply statistical and

OVERVIEW

The touch screen display is the principal viewing and control center of
the oscilloscope. See p.10 for an overview of its components.

The front panel houses hard controls for different acquisition settings.
Operate the instrument using front panel controls, touch screen controls,
or a mix that is convenient for you. See "Front Panel" on p.9.

Channels 1–4 are used to input analog signal. EXT can be used to input
an external trigger signal.

AUX out can be configured to send a pulse to another device upon a
trigger event or Pass/Fail outcome.

The LBUS port may be used with the optional 8-Channel Sync to provide
precise synchonization with other instruments, or the HDA125-xx-LBUS
for high-speed digital analysis and triggering.

Cal out emits a signal that can be used to compensate passive probes.
HDO9000 oscilloscopes are compatible with the included passive probes
and all ProBus active probes that are rated for the oscilloscope’s bandwidth.
Probe specifications and documentation are at teledynelecroy.com/probes.

Supplied with the Mixed Signal
models, the digital leadset connects
to the Mixed Signal interface to
input up-to-16 lines of digital data.
Two digital banks with separate
threshold and hysteresis controls
make it possible to simultaneously
view data from different logic
families. Each flying lead has a
signal and a ground connection. A
variety of ground extenders and
flying ground leads are available for
your probing needs.

To achieve optimal signal integrity, connect the ground at the tip of the flying
lead for each channel used in measurements. Use either the provided ground

extenders or flying ground leads to
make the ground connection.

To connect the leadset to the
oscilloscope, push the connector
into the mixed signal interface until
you hear a click.

To remove the leadset, press in and
hold the buttons on each side of the
connector, then pull out to release it.

Powering On/Off

Plug the line cord only into a grounded AC power outlet. See Power in
“Safety” for ratings. Press the Power button to turn on the oscilloscope. The
button will light to show the oscilloscope is operational.

CAUTION. Do not power on or calibrate with a signal attached.

Press the Power button again or use or the File > Shutdown menu option
to execute a proper shut down process and preserve settings.

CAUTION. Do not press and hold the Power button. This will
execute a hard shutdown, but may not preserve setups and data.

The Power button does not disconnect the oscilloscope from the AC
power supply, but puts it into "Standby" mode. Some “housekeeping”
circuitry continues to draw power. The only way to fully power down the
instrument is unplug the AC line cord from the outlet. We recommend
unplugging the instrument if it will remain unused for a long period of time

CAUTION. Do not change the Windows® Power setting to System
Standby or System Hibernate. Doing so may cause failure.

OVERVIEW

Connecting to External Devices/Systems

See the HDO9000 Oscilloscopes Operator’s Manual for more instructions on
connecting to external devices.

Audio/USB Peripherals

Connect the device to the appropriate port. These connections are “plug­and-play” and do not require further configuration. Use the Windows
control panel to make adjustments. Choose File > Minimize to go to the
Windows desktop.

External Monitor

The HDMI and DisplayPort interfaces support Ultra HD monitors. Connect
the monitor to a video output on the side of the instrument. You can
use an adapter if it does not have an HDMI or DP cable. Go to Display >
Display Setup > Open Monitor Control Panel to configure display settings
using the Windows control panel. Be sure to select the oscilloscope as the
primary display.

To use the Extend Grids feature, configure the second monitor to extend,
not duplicate, the oscilloscope display. If the external monitor is touch
screen enabled, the MAUI user interface can be controlled through touch
on the external monitor.

Note: The oscilloscope touch screen uses Fujitsu drivers. Because of
potential conflicts, external monitors with Fujitsu drivers cannot be used
as touch screens, only as displays.

LAN

The HDO9000 is preset to accept a DHCP network address over a TCP/IP
connection. Connect an ENET cable from either port to a network access
device. Go to Utilities > Utilities Setup > Remote to find the IP address.

To assign the oscilloscope a static IP address, open Net Connections
from the Remote dialog and use the Windows networking dialogs to
configure the device address. Go to File > File Sharing to configure email.

Remote Control

You can control the instrument over a LAN using VICP (TCP/IP) or
VXI-11 (LXI). Use a standard ENET cable to connect to a network access
point, and be sure the instrument is on the same subnet as the controller.
You can also connect directly using TCP/IP, but depending on the
controller, you may need to use a cross-over cable.

Note: To use LXI on Windows 10 oscilloscopes, switch to the
Administrative User LCRYADMIN (p.41).

USBTMC and GPIB (with the optional USB-GPIB adapter) can also be used
to make a remote connection. To change the remote control setting from

the default VICP (TCP/IP), go to Utilities > Utilities Setup > Remote.

Printer

HDO9000 supports USB printers that are compatible with the Windows
OS installed on the oscilloscope. Connect the printer to any host USB

port, then go to File > Print Setup > Print and select Printer to configure
settings. Choose Properties to open the Windows print dialog.

Aux Out and Cal Out

The oscilloscope can output a pulse upon a trigger event or Pass/Fail
outcome. Connect a BNC cable from Aux Out on the front of the instrument

to the other device. Go to Utilities > Utilities Setup > Aux Output to
configure the output.

The Cal Out hook on the front can be set to output a direct current or
square wave of custom amplitude and frequency. Use the Aux Output
dialog to configure Cal Out.

Reference Clock

To input or output a reference clock, connect a BNC cable from Ref In
or Ref Out on the back of the instrument to the other instrument. Go to

Timebase > Horizontal Setup > Clock Source to configure the clock.

OVERVIEW

A drop-down menu bar lets you access set up dialogs and other
functions. All functionality can be accessed through either the menu bar
or other touch screen shortcuts.

If an action can be “undone” (such as recalling a setup), a small
Undo button appears at the far right of the menu bar. Click this
to return to the previous oscilloscope display.

The grid displays the waveform traces. It can be configured to show
different grid modes.

Cursors show where measurement points have been set. Touch-and-drag
cursor indicators to quickly reposition the measurement point. Horizontal
cursor readouts appear below the Timebase and Trigger descriptors.

Trigger Level and Trigger Time indicators appear at the edge of the grid
when a trigger is set, color-coded to match the trigger channel.

Trace Descriptor boxes appear along the bottom of the grid, one for each
open trace. They adjust in size and detail as more are opened.

The Add New box sits next to the trace descriptor boxes. Use it to turn on
new traces or the Measure table. See "MAUI with OneTouch" on p.15.

Timebase and Trigger descriptor boxes appear at the right of the display.
Timebase and Trigger settings only apply to channel traces. Touch the
descriptor box to open the corresponding set up dialog.

Dialogs appear at the bottom of the display for entering set up data. The
top dialog will be the main entry point for the selected function. Related
dialogs appear as a series of tabs behind the main dialog.

A toolbar along the bottom of the main Channel, Math, Memory and
Digital dialogs initiates frequent actions without closing the underlying
dialog. The actions always apply to the active (highlighted) trace.

Apply measurement parameters.

Display a zoom of the trace.

Apply a math function to the trace.

Open the Serial Decode dialog
(if decoder options installed; else disabled).

Copy the active trace to the corresponding
internal memory (e.g., C2 to M2).

Scale the waveform to fit the grid.

Move the active trace to the next grid.

Apply a custom label to the trace.

Display Mode vs. Grid Mode

The Display Mode determines whether the touch screen has a single display
or tabs each representing a separate display. The Grid Mode allows selection
of a particular grid style in each display.

By default, the oscilloscope is in Normal Display Mode (a single display with
no tabs) with the Auto Grid Mode enabled. Auto adds a grid for each new
trace, up to 16 grids, until no more grids are available. Other grid modes
create a fixed number and orientation of grids; the icon shows the result.

The various Q-Scape Display Modes divide the screen into tabbed displays.
Many of the same grid functions you can perform in Normal mode, such as
moving traces to other grids, you can also perform in the Q-Scape modes.

To modify the touch screen display, choose Display > Display Setup from the
menu bar and make your selections from the Display dialog.

BASICS

Extended Display

If you have a second monitor connected, you can extend the display of
traces across both the oscilloscope screen and the external monitor. Select
Extend Grids on 2nd Monitor from the Display dialog, then choose a grid
mode from the Extended Display pop-up menu. Both screens will share this
grid mode. Drag-and-drop descriptor boxes to move traces between displays.

Note: When a Q-Scape Display Mode is extended, only Tab 1 is moved to
the second display.

Line and Intensity

The trace style can be set to a series of separate
sample Points or a continuous vector Line.

Grid Intensity makes the grid lines dimmer or
brighter relative to the trace.

When more data is available than can actually be
displayed, Trace Intensity helps to visualize significant events by applying
an algorithm that dims less frequently occurring samples. The front panel

Intensity button sets the Adjust knob to control the trace intensity setting.

BASICS

Working With Traces

Trace Descriptor Boxes

Channel (C1-C4), Zoom (Z1-Z12), Math (F1-F12), Memory (M1-M12) and
Digital (Digital1-Digital4) descriptor boxes appear along the bottom of
the grid area when a trace is turned on. Descriptor boxes summarize,
activate, arrange and configure the traces they represent.

Trace Context Menu

The trace context menu is a quick way to apply math, measurements or
labels to traces. To open the context menu, right-click with your mouse or
touch-and-hold on the trace descriptor box until a white circle appears,
then release.

Active vs. Inactive Trace

Although several traces may be open and appear on the display, only one at
a time is active. This is true for all traces, regardless of the type. All actions
apply to the active trace until another is selected.

Touch a trace or its descriptor box to activate it and bring it to the foreground.
When the descriptor box appears highlighted in blue, front panel controls and
touch screen gestures apply to that trace.

Inactive. Controls will not
work for this trace.

Active. Controls will work
for this trace.

Adjusting Setups

On setup dialogs, many entries can be made by selecting from the pop-up
menu that appears when you touch a control.

On some pop-up menus, you can choose to display
options as a list or as icons.

When an entry field appears highlighted in blue after
touching, it is active and the value can be modified by
turning the front panel knobs. Fields that don’t have
a dedicated knob (as do Vertical Offset or Horizontal
Delay) can be modified using the Adjust knob.

If you have a keyboard installed, you can type
entries in an active (highlighted) data entry
field. Or, you can touch again, then “type” the
entry by touching keys on the virtual keypad
or keyboard.

To use the virtual keypad, touch the soft keys
exactly as you would a calculator. When you
touch OK, the calculated value is entered in

the field.

930536-00 Rev A

BASICS

MAUI with OneTouch

Touch, drag, swipe, pinch and flick can be used to create and change setups with one touch. Just as you change the display by using the setup dialogs,
you can change the setups by moving different display objects. Use the setup dialogs to refine OneTouch gestures to precise values.

As you drag & drop, valid targets are outlined with a white box. When you’re moving over invalid targets, you’ll see the “Null” symbol ( Ø ) under your
finger tip or cursor.

Turn On

To turn on a new channel, math, memory, or zoom trace, drag any
descriptor box of the same type to the Add New (“+”) box. The next trace
in the series will be added to the display at the default settings. It is now
the active trace.

If there is no descriptor box of the desired type on the screen to drag,
touch the Add New box and choose the trace type from the pop-up menu.

To turn on the Measure table when it is closed, touch the Add New box
and choose Measurement.

HD Mode

The HDO9000 with HD1024 high definition technology offers more quantitization levels and greater precision when digitizing waveforms. HD1024 allows for
dynamic ADC configuration based on the number of active channels and applies bandwidth filtering when the sample rate is reduced below 10 GS/s to prevent
aliasing and increase resolution. When HD1024 is off, the oscilloscope operates in continuous 8-bit resolution.

Math

Math creates a new trace that displays the result of applying a mathematical function (e.g., Sum, Product, FFT) to one or more source traces. Operations
can be chained by using one math function as a source for the other. The math trace always opens in a separate grid from the source and can be viewed
along side it. One important distinction between math functions and measurement parameters is that the result of math is always another waveform,
whereas the result of measurement is a number.

Saving and Sharing Data

Use the oscilloscope File menu options to save and recall data. See the

HDO9000 Oscilloscopes Operator’s Manual for more information on using
these features.

LabNotebooks

LabNotebooks are composite files (.LNB) containing setups, waveform
data and screen image as they were at the moment of capture. Creating a
LabNotebook can be as simple as pressing the Print button as you work.
Flashback LabNotebooks to restore the oscilloscope to the exact state it
was in when the file was saved. Waveforms and tables are displayed as
they were for new analyses to be performed.

LabNotebook files can be edited, annotated and exported into a
preformatted HTML, .RTF or .PDF report. They can also be extracted into
their component setup, waveform and screen image files.

Setup, Waveform and Table Data

The current oscilloscope configuration can be saved to internal setup
panels or setup (.LSS) files and later recalled.

Waveform data can be stored to trace (.TRC) files and later recalled into
memories to restore the waveform display to the screen.

Table data can be saved to either ASCII (.TXT) or Excel (.CSV) files.

When multiple waveforms or tables are displayed, one command saves

All Displayed to separate, autonamed files.

Screen Captures

The front panel Print button captures an image of the screen, which will
then be handled according to your chosen Print method (sent to a printer,
saved to an image file, etc.). Before printing or saving the capture, use the
drawing tools to annotate the image, same as with LabNotebooks.

You can also use the touch screen File > Save Screen Image.

File Sharing

If the oscilloscope is networked, LabNotebooks, reports and other
user data files can be emailed directly from the instrument or saved to
accessible network devices.

Files can also be transferred to a USB drive through any of the host USB
ports. Stored user data files are located on the D: drive.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

Clean the outside of the oscilloscope using a soft cloth moistened
with water or isopropyl alcohol solution. Do not use harsh or abrasive
cleansers. Dry thoroughly before using. Do not submerge the instrument
or allow moisture to penetrate it.

CAUTION. Do not attempt to clean internal parts.

Language Selection

To change the language that appears on the oscilloscope touch screen, from
the menu bar, choose Utilities > Preference Setup > Preferences and make
your Language selection.

You can also select at power on by touching the Language icon
when it appears at the upper-right of the touch screen.

Reboot the oscilloscope after changing language.

Calibration

The oscilloscope is calibrated at the factory prior to shipment. Schedule
an annual factory calibration as part of your routine maintenance.

HDO9000 incorporates automatic calibration routines to maintain
accuracy in between factory calibrations. Go to Utilities > Preference

Setup > Calibration to select the method used:

Stored Calibration uses cached calibration files to recalibrate the

instrument at start-up. As long as the oscilloscope is used at or near
sea level within a temperature range of 19-30 °C, this calibration routine
should be sufficient to maintain specified performance. The instrument
will dynamically recalibrate if the temperature goes outside of the
stored calibration range. If you know you will be operating outside this
temperature range, do a Calibrate All to minimize recalibration.

Dynamic Calibration recalibrates the oscilloscope at start-up and every
time there is a change to any of the acquisition settings that directly
affect the performance of the ADCs. When one setup is calibrated at a
particular ambient temperature, the calibration is entered in a calibration
table and reused for the duration of the session. These calibration entries
persist only for a single session; Dynamic Calibration restarts when the
instrument is restarted or you change the principal acquisition settings.

Two manual calibration routines can be used to recalibrate immediately
before sensitive measurements or when there is a significant change of
environmental characteristics that could affect the performance of the
ADCs:

Calibrate Current State calibrates at the current vertical and horizontal
settings. This calibration takes 5 seconds but is valid for only this setup
at the current temperature ±2.5 °C.

Calibrate All calibrates all possible combinations of vertical and
horizontal settings. This calibration is valid for the current temperature
and takes about four to five hours. Perform it when the ambient
temperature is stable from the time of calibration to the time of
operation. We recommend that you run Calibrate All when:

• The instrument is operating outside the 19-30 °C range and the
operating temperature changes while outside that range. Calibrate
All is only valid for ± 2.5 °C of the last calibration temperature when
operating outside of the 19-30 °C range.

• The instrument is moved to a new operating environment.

• It has been six months since the previous manual calibration.

CAUTION. Remove all inputs from the oscilloscope prior to manual
calibration.

supply the administrative user password, SCOPEADMIN.

To switch to the LCRYADMIN account:

1. Exit the XStreamDSO application by choosing File > Exit.

2. Open the Windows Start menu

3. Hover over the Teledyne LeCroy logo and select user LCRYADMIN.

4. Enter the administrative password SCOPEADMIN (all uppercase).

5. Double-click the StartDSO icon on the oscilloscope desktop.

To return to the default user, repeat this procedure selecting LeCroyUser and
entering the password lecroyservice (all lowercase).

You may create as many new users on the oscilloscope as you wish provided
you are logged in as LCRYADMIN when doing so. Use the standard Windows
tools to add users.

Note: As long as there are any Standard (non-administrative) users, the
oscilloscope will reboot into the last active Standard user, regardless of
whether you've switched to an administrative user. The only way to change
this is to give LeCroyUser and all other users Administrator privileges.
