Installation
Installing an Application Module
CAUTION. To avoid damage to the oscilloscope or application module, observe ESD (electrostatic discharge) precautions.
(See page 9, Pow
ering On the Oscilloscope.)
Turn off the oscilloscope power while removing or adding an application module.
(See page 10, Powering Off the Oscilloscope.)
Optional application module packages extend the capability of your oscilloscope.
You can physically install up to four application modules at one time. Application modules go into the two slots with windows
in the upper right corner of the front-panel. Two additional slots are directly behind the two that you can see. To use these
slots, install the module with the label facing away from you.
Each module has a license, which you can optionally transfer between your application modules and oscilloscope. You can
keep each license in the module, which will allow you to move the module from one instrument to another.
Alternatively, you can move the license from the module to the oscilloscope. This approach w ill allow you to store the module
separately from the oscilloscope for safe keeping. This approach w ill also allow you to use m ore than four applications on
your oscilloscope simultaneously.
To transfer a license from a module to your oscilloscope or from your oscilloscope to a module:
1. Turn off the power to the oscilloscope. Insert the application modules in the oscilloscope. Turn on the power.
2. Push Utility on the front-panel. If needed, push Utility Page on the lower menu and turn multipurpose knob a to select
Config. Push Ma nag e Modules a nd Options on the lower menu, and then push License Type on the side menu until
“Modules” i s selected. The licenses contained in the oscilloscope will be listed in the size menu. Push the button next to
the appropriate license to transfer. You may transfer up to four licenses at one time.
3. After you turn off the power to the o scilloscope, you can remove the physical application module from the oscilloscope.
Refer to the MSO3000 and DPO3000 Series Oscilloscopes A pplication Module Installation Manual that came with your
application module for instructions on installing and testing an application m odule.
NOTE. If you transfer a license from a module to an oscilloscope, the module will not work on another oscilloscope until
you transfer the license back from the oscilloscope to the module. Consider putting the physical module in a n envelope
or other storage with a label with the date, the m odule name, and the model and serial number of the oscilloscope, which
holds the license. This will help prevent trouble later if someone finds the m odule, installs it in some other oscilloscope,
and wonders w hy it does not work.
Upgrading Bandwidth
You may increase the bandwidth of a 100MHz or 300MHz instrument up to 500MHz when your project requirements
demand higher performance by purchasing an upgrade.
Available bandwidth upgrade products are:
DPO3BW1T32 - upgrades bandwidth from 100 MHz to 300 MHz for 2 channel models
DPO3BW1T52 - upgrades bandwidth from 100 MHz to 500 MHz for 2 channel models
DPO3BW3T52 - upgrades bandwidth from 300 MHz to 500 MHz for 2 channel models
