General Safety Summary
Carefully read the following safety precautions to avoid any personal injury or
damage to the instrument and any products connected to it. To avoid potential
hazards, please use the instrument as specified.
Use Proper Power Cord
Only the power cord designed for the instrument and authorized by local
government regulations should be used.
Ground the Instrument
The instrument is grounded through the protective earth conductor of the power
cord. To avoid electric shock, please make certain the instrument is grounded
correctly before connecting its input or output terminals.
Connect the Signal Cable Correctly
The potential of the signal cable ground is equal to the earth ground. Do not connect
the signal wire to a high voltage.
Look Over All Terminals’ Ratings
To avoid fire or electric shock, please look over all ratings and sign instructions of
the instrument. Before connecting the instrument, please read the manual carefully
to gain more information about the ratings.
Use Proper Overvoltage Protection
Make sure that no overvoltage (such as that caused by a thunderstorm) can reachthe product, or else the operator might be exposed to the danger of electrical shock.
Electrostatic Prevention
Operate in an electrostatic-protected area environment to avoid damages induced
by static discharge. Always ground both the internal and external conductors of thecable to release a static charge before connecting.
Maintain Adequate Ventilation
Inadequate ventilation may cause an increase in temperature, which may eventually
damage the instrument. Maintain suitable ventilation and inspect the fan and intake
regularly.

Connect to a LAN
Connect the 1000M LAN port to the LAN using a cable
Perform Utility > Menu > I/O >LAN Config , or click theicon in thelower right corner of the display to set theLAN. The LAN Config dialog box is shownon the left.
After connecting to the LAN successfully,
the instrument can be remotely controlled
by WebServer or by sending SCPI
commands via NI-VISA, Telnet, or Socket.

WebServer
A built-in web server provides an approach to interact with the oscilloscope by a
web browser. It doesn’t require any additional software to be installed on thecomputer. Set the IP address of the oscilloscope in the browser address bar, andthen the user can browse and control the oscilloscope on the web.

Probe Compensation
All oscilloscope probes should be properly compensated before their first use withthe oscilloscope. A non-compensated or inadequately compensated probe may
cause inaccurate measurement. The following steps illustrate the proper probe
compensation procedure.

1.

Use the probe to connect the C1 Input Terminal and the Compensation Signal
Output Terminalon the front panel. Connect the ground alligator clip of theprobe to the “Ground Terminal” under the compensation signal output terminal.

2.

Check the displayed waveforms and compare them with the following figure.

Use a nonmetallic flat-head screwdriver to adjust the low-frequency
compensation adjustment hole on the probe until the waveform matches the“Compensated Correctly” waveform above.

To Set Parameters
Several different ways are provided to set parameters:
Switch -- sets parameters with two states,
such as to enable or disable a function.
Touch the switch region to change fromone state to the other.
List -- sets parameters with more than two
options, such as the coupling mode ofchannels. Touch the parameter region,and then select the expected option fromthe pop-up list.
Virtual Keypad -- Sets parameters with anumerical value. Touch the parameterregion, and the parameter can be adjusted
by the universal knob on the front panel orthe middle wheel of the mouse; touch theregion again, then the virtual keypadappears;
To use the operation of setting “deskew” ofthe channel as an example: If the expectedvalue is 65 ns, input “65” on the virtual
keypad, and then choose the unit n tocomplete the operation. On the virtual
keypad, touching the button Max , Min ,and Default quickly sets the parameterto its maximum, minimum and default
values.

Calibration
Self Calibration
The oscilloscope is calibrated at the factory prior to being shipped. The calibration
is run at 23°C (± 2°C) and is valid for temperatures 23 ± 5°C. Within this temperature
range, the oscilloscope will meet all specifications once warmed up.
Touch Utility > Menu > Maintenance > Self Calibration
Warm up the oscilloscope for at least 20 minutes prior to each use or calibration inorder for it to reach a stable operating temperature. Specifications are notguaranteed during the warm-up period.
Whenever the oscilloscope is used in an environment outside 23 ± 5°C, or when it
has been more than one month since the previous calibration, a self-calibration isrecommended.
