Agilent 54610B

Oscilloscope

A General-Purpose Oscilloscope

The Agilent 54610B oscilloscope offers exceptional waveform

viewing and measurements in a small, lightweight package. This dual

channel,

500 MHz bandwidth oscilloscope is designed for use in labs where

high speed analog and digital circuits are being tested. This

oscilloscope gives you:

•500 MHz bandwidth, and 1 ns/div Main and Delayed time bases

•Selectable input impedance

•Protection of the internal 50 ohm load

•Adjustable time nulling to remove the effects of cabling

•Repetitive waveform sampling at up to 10 GSa/sec

(20 MSa/sec single shot)

•Viewable external trigger input

This oscilloscope is very easy to use because of its familiar controls

and real time display. You can discard your viewing hood as this

oscilloscope has none of the viewing problems that are associated

with analog oscilloscopes. A bright, crisp display is obtained at all

sweep speeds and delayed sweep magnifications. Storage is as

simple as pressing a button. View events ahead of the trigger using

negative time. Cursors and automatic measurements greatly simplify

your analysis tasks.

You can upgrade this oscilloscope for hardcopy or remote control

with the addition of an interface module. Unattended waveform

monitoring and additional waveform math, such as FFT, can be

added with the addition of one of the Measurement/Storage modules.

Bring your scope and PC together with BenchLink software.

BenchLink, which runs under Windows, allows the easy transfer of

scope traces and waveform data to your PC for incorporation into

documents or storage.

In T is Book

This book is the operating and service manual for the Agilent 54610B

oscilloscope, and contains four chapters.

First Time Users Chapter 1 is a quick start guide that gives you a brief

overview of the oscilloscope.

Advanced users Chapter 2 is a series of exercises that guide you

through the operation of the oscilloscope.

Service technicians Chapter 3 contains the service information for the

oscilloscope. There are procedures for verifying performance,

adjusting, troubleshooting, and replacing assemblies in the oscilloscope.

Reference information Chapter 4 lists the characteristics of the

oscilloscope.

The Oscilloscope at a Glance

One of the first things you will want to do with your new oscilloscope

is to become acquainted with its front panel. Therefore, we have

written the exercises in this chapter to familiarize you with the

controls you will use most often.

The front panel has knobs, grey keys, and white keys. The knobs are

used most often and are similar to the knobs on other oscilloscopes.

The grey keys bring up softkey menus on the display that allow you

access to many of the oscilloscope features. The white keys are

instant action keys and menus are not associated with them.

Throughout this book, the front-panel keys are denoted by a box

around the name of the key, and softkeys are denoted by a change in

the text type. or example, Source is the grey front-panel key

labeled Source under the trigger portion of the front panel, and

Line is a softkey. The word Line appears at the bottom of the

display directly above its corresponding softkey.

igure 1-1 is a diagram of the front panel controls and input

connectors.

igure 1-2 is a status line example. The status line, located at the top

of of the display, lets you quickly determine the setup of the

oscilloscope. In this chapter you will learn to read at a glance the

setup of the oscilloscope from the status line.

igure 1-3 is a diagram showing which grey keys to press to bring up

the various softkey menus.
