Getting acquainted with the oscilloscope
Powering the oscilloscope
Grounding the oscilloscope is necessary for safety and to take accurate
measurements. The oscilloscope must share the same ground as any circuits that
you are testing. You connect the oscilloscope to ground by plugging the three-
pronged power cord into an outlet grounded to earth ground.
To power the oscilloscope on:
1. Connect the power cord supplied with the instrument to the oscilloscope
power connector.
2. Connect the power cord to the appropriate AC main source.
3. Push the Power button on the top.
