4 Troubleshooting
Solving General Problems with the Oscilloscope
This section describes how to solve general problems that
you may encounter while using the Agilent 6000 Series
Oscilloscopes to make measurements.
After troubleshooting the oscilloscope, if you need to replace
parts, refer to the “Replaceable Parts” chapter.
On 6000L Series oscilloscopes, connect an XGA display to
the display port on the rear panel before you begin
troubleshooting. Then connect the oscilloscope to the
network, establish communication, and use the Remote Front
Panel feature described in the 6000 Series Oscilloscopes
User’s Guide to control the oscilloscope. If you do not have
the user’s guide, you can download it from
www.agilent.com/find/mso6000.
If there is no display
✔ Check that the power cord is firmly seated in the
oscilloscope power receptacle.
✔ Check that the power source is live.
✔ Check that the front- panel power switch is on.
✔ If there is still no display, go to the troubleshooting
procedures in this chapter.
If there is no trace display
✔ Check that the INTENSITY knob on the front panel is
adjusted correctly.
✔ Recall the default setup by pressing Save/Recall then
Default Setup. This will ensure that the trigger mode is
Auto.
