WaveSurfer 3000 Getting Started Guide
Carrying
The oscilloscope’s case contains a built-in carrying handle. Always
unplug the instrument from the power source before lifting and carrying it.
Powering On/Off
Connect the line cord rated for your country to the AC power inlet on the
back of the instrument, then plug it into a grounded AC power outlet. (see
Power and Ground Connections in “General Safety Information”).
The Power button controls the operational state of the oscilloscope.
Press the button to switch on the instrument; the LED on the button lights to
show the oscilloscope is on. Press it again to switch “off” (Standby power).
CAUTION. Do not power on or calibrate the oscilloscope with a
signal attached.
Always use the Power button or the File > Shutdown menu option to
execute a proper shut down process and preserve settings.
The Power button does not disconnect the oscilloscope from the AC
power supply; 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.
CAUTION. Do not place the instrument so that it is difficult to reach
the power cord in case you need to disconnect from power.
We recommend unplugging the instrument if it will remain unused for a
long period of time.

After start up, configure the connection on the oscilloscope using the menu
options listed below. See the WaveSurfer 3000 Oscilloscopes Operator’s
