VGA video output on the back of the instrument. The connection is “plug-and-play” and does not require any
further configuration on the oscilloscope. If necessary, configure the monitor to receive output.

WaveSurfer 3000 supports PictBridge-compliant printers. Connect the printer to any host USB port. The
connection is "plug-and-play."
EXTERNAL CONTROLLER
Connect a USB-A/B cable from the USBTMC port or an Ethernet cable from the LAN port on the back of the
instrument to the controller. Go to Utilities > Utilities Setup > Remote to configure remote control.
OTHER AUXILIARY DEVICE
To send trigger out to another device, connect a BNC cable from Aux Out on the back of he instrument to the
other device.
Powering On/Off
The Power button at the lower, left front of the oscilloscope controls the operational state of the
instrument.
Press the button to switch on the instrument. The LED on the button lights to show the oscilloscope is
operational.
CAUTION. Do not power on or calibrate the oscilloscope with a signal attached.
Press the button again to power down. You can also use the File > Shutdown menu option to execute a
proper shut down process and preserve settings before powering down.
The Power button does not disconnect the oscilloscope from the AC power supply. The only way to fully
power down the instrument is to unplug the AC power cord from the outlet.
We recommend unplugging the instrument if it will be unused for a long period of time.
