OVERVIEW
The touch screen display is the principal viewing and control center of
the oscilloscope. See p.10 for an overview of its components.
The front panel houses buttons and knobs that control different
oscilloscope settings. Operate the instrument using front panel controls,
touch screen controls, or a mix that is convenient for you.
Front mounted host USB 2.0 ports can be used for transferring data or
connecting peripherals such as a mouse or keyboard.
The mixed signal intereface connects the digital leadset to input up-to-16
digital lines (with a Mixed Signal probe).
Ground and calibration output terminals are used to compensate
passive probes.
Channels 1–4 are used to input analog signal.
The rotating, tilting feet
enable four different
viewing positions.
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 “Safety”).
The Power button controls the operational state of the oscilloscope.
Press Power to switch on the instrument and load the oscilloscope software.
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.
