Description
7 After connecting the supplied power cord, use the power button to power the instrument on and off. The power button color indicates
the following instrument states; amber is standby
, blue is on, unlit is off.
When the batteries in the 2-BP battery pack on your instrument have a low battery charge and the power cord is not connected, the
power button will blink twice and then your instrument will turn off.
Note: Always allow 10 seconds between power down and power up of the instrument before operating the instrument.
8 The AFG/AUX Out BNC connector is multiplexed. Y
ou must select either AFG or Aux Out to use this connector.
AFG is the signal output for the optional Arbitrary Function Generator (AFG) feature. AUX Out generates a signal transition on a
trigger event or outputs a synchronization signal from the AFG.
9 Pattern Generator (PG) is a signal output for four Digital signals.
Note: W
ait until the instrument has completed the power on process before connecting to the PG connector. Disconnect
from the PG connector before powering the instrument down.
10 Use Ground and probe compensation connectors to provide a ground connector to help reduce electrostatic damage (ESD) and
adjust the high-frequency response of a passive probe.
11 Auxiliary trigger input (Aux in) is a connector to which you can connect an external trigger input signal. Use the Aux In trigger signal
with the Edge trigger mode.
12 Use the Probe connectors to connect BNC passive probes and BNC cables.
Button and knob functions
A description of the functionality of each button and knob on your instrument.
Button Description
Run/Stop Starts and stops waveform acquisition. The button color indicates the acquisition status (green
indicates running and acquiring; red indicates stopped). When stopped, the oscilloscope shows
waveforms from the last completed acquisition. The Run/Stop button on the screen also shows the
acquisition status.
Single/Seq Enables making a single waveform acquisition, or a specified number of acquisitions (as set in
the Acquisition configuration menu). Pushing Single/Seq turns of
f Run/Stop mode and takes a
single acquisition. The button color indicates the acquisition status (quick green flash indicates single
acquisition acquired; solid green indicates waiting for trigger event). Pushing Single/Seq again takes
another single acquisition.
Clear Deletes the current acquisitions and measurement values from memory.
A and B knobs The multipurpose knobs A and B move cursors and set parameter values in configuration menu input
fields. Selecting an menu field that can use a multipurpose knob assigns the indicated knob to change
the value in that input field. The ring around each knob lights when you can use that knob to do an
action. Push a multipurpose knob to enable the Fine mode for making smaller increment changes.
Push the knob again to close Fine mode.
Force Forces a trigger event at a random point in the waveform and captures the acquisition.
