Manual Conventions
This manual uses certain conventions which you should become familiar with
before doing service.
Throughout this manual, any replaceable component, assembly, or part of these
Digitizing Oscilloscopes is referred to generically as a module. In general, a
module is an assembly, like a circuit board, rather than a component, like a
resistor or an integrated circuit. Sometimes a single component is a module; for
example, each chassis part of the oscilloscope is a module.
Symbols and terms related to safety appear in the Safety Summary found at the
beginning of this manual.
Besides the symbols related to safety, this manual uses the following symbols:
STOP. The stop labels information which must be read in order to correctly do
service and to avoid incorrectly using or applying service procedures.
The clock icon labels procedure steps which require a pause to wait for
the oscilloscope to complete some operation before you can continue.
Various icons such as the example icon at the left are used in procedures
to help identify certain readouts and menu functions on screen.
