A Quick Tour
Plug-in Modules
The Infiniium DCA holds up to two plug-in modules, which can provide up to
four measurement channels. Each input channel has its own vertical controls.
The amplitude scale knob adjusts the amplitude scale used for the input chan-
nel. Use the amplitude offset knob to position the displayed signal. You can
also set the amplitude scale and offset to specific values by touching of chan-
nel buttons shown to at the bottom of the display.
CAUTION Electrical channel input circuits and the trigger input circuit can be damaged
by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Avoid applying static discharges to the front-
panel input connectors. Prior to connecting any coaxial cable to the
connectors, momentarily short the center and outer conductors of the cable
together. Avoid touching the front-panel input connectors without first
touching the frame of the instrument. Be sure that the instrument is properly
earth-grounded to prevent buildup of static charge. Wear a wrist-strap or heel-
strap.
