WaveSurfer 3000 Oscilloscopes
Start Up
Setting Up the Oscilloscope
Carrying and Placing the Oscilloscope
The oscilloscope’s case contains a built-in carrying handle. Grasp the handle firmly and lift the instrument.
Always unplug the instrument from the power source before lifting and carrying it.
Place the instrument where it will have a minimum 15 cm (6 inch) clearance from the nearest object. Be
sure there are no papers or other debris beneath the oscilloscope or blocking the cooling vents.
CAUTION. Do not place the instrument so that it is difficult to reach the power cord in case you
need to quickly disconnect from power.
Positioning the Feet
The WaveSurfer is equipped with rotating, tilting feet to allow four different viewing positions.
To tilt the body back slightly for bench top viewing, pull the small flaps on the bottom of the feet away from
the body of the oscilloscope.
To tilt the body forward, rotate both feet to the back. This position is useful when
placing the oscilloscope on a high shelf. Pulling out the flaps in this position
increases the angle of the tilt.
Connecting to Other Devices/Systems
Make the desired cable connections. All except for the power connection are optional.
After start up, configure the connection on the oscilloscope using the menu options listed below. More
detailed instructions are provided later in this manual.
LAN
WaveSurfer 3000 accepts DHCP network addressing. Connect a cable from either Ethernet port on the back
panel to a network access device. Go to Utilities > Utilities Setup > Remote and select TCPIP to obtain a
network connection and IP address. Go to Utilities > Preference Setup > Email to configure email settings.
USB PERIPHERALS
Connect USB-peripherals (e.g., mouse, keyboard) to any USB port on the front or back of the instrument.
