Troubleshooting the Main
Board
To troubleshoo
t the Main board (acquisition module), follow these steps:
1. Remove the rear case. (See page 6-10, Rear Case.)
2. Use the test oscilloscope to measure the voltages from the power supply
module at J101 on the Main board module. The following table lists the
voltages yo
u should expect to see.

3. If all of the voltages a re present, the Main board is probably defective.

Running Diagnostics
The oscilloscope runs an extensive self-diagnostic routine at every power-on.
Running the diagnostics from the Service m enu will provide no additional
info
rmation and therefore is not needed. The menu selections are only used during
manufacturing of the oscilloscope.
Troubleshooting Input
Con
nections
Follow these step s to troubleshoot the inp ut connections only if the oscilloscope
ap
pears to function normally in every way, but an input signal is not getting into
the oscilloscope as expected.
