Infiniium Oscilloscopes

In This Book

This book gives you the information you need to begin using the Infiniium

Oscilloscopes. It contains four chapters:

Setting up the Oscilloscope Chapter 1 contains inspection, power

requirements, air flow, and setup information.

Working in Comfort Chapter 2 contains recommendations for working

comfortably and safely while operating the Infiniium Oscilloscope.

Using the Oscilloscope Chapter 3 gives an overview of the front panel and

the graphical user interface, and tells you how to perform basic operations with

the oscilloscope.

Using the Built-In Information System Chapter 4 describes the built-in

information system contents and navigation. The built-in information system

contains all of the information that is generally found in a User’s Guide.

• For detailed information on how the oscilloscope makes measurements and

how to use the oscilloscope, see the built-in information system in the

oscilloscope.

• For information on programming the oscilloscope using a computer with a

GPIB interface card, see the Infiniium Oscilloscopes Programmer’s

Reference.

• For information on testing and servicing the oscilloscope, see either the

Infiniium Service Guide for Models 54810A/15A/20A/25A Oscilloscopes

or the Infiniium Service Guide for the Model 54835A and 54845A

Oscilloscope.

CAUTION The Infiniium Oscilloscope uses a specially designed Windows 98 application

program. While it is possible to access some standard Windows 98 application

programs, it is not recommended. All Infiniium Oscilloscope functionality is

directly available from within the Infiniium Oscilloscope application. Other

application software may or may not function correctly. Windows 98

configuration changes made outside of the Infiniium Oscilloscope application

may not work correctly and could cause improper operation of the instrument.

To inspect package contents

❏Inspect the shipping container for damage.

Keep a damaged shipping container or cushioning material until you have

inspected the contents of the shipment for completeness and have checked the

oscilloscope mechanically and electrically.

❏Verify that you received the following items in the Infiniium Oscilloscope

packaging.

• Infiniium Oscilloscope (54810A, 15A, 20A, 25A, 35A, or 45A)

• PS/2 Mouse, P/N C3751-60201

• Mouse Pad, P/N 54810-85901

• (2) 1160A 10:1 10-MΩpassive probes (54810A, 54820A)

• (4) 1160A 10:1 10-MΩpassive probes (54815A, 54825A)

• (4) 1161A 10:1 10-MΩpassive probes (54835A, 54845A)

• Accessory Pouch (P/N 54810-68701)

• Front Panel Cover

• Keyboard

•Powercord

•User’s Quick Start Guide

•Programmer’s Reference

•Programmer’s Quick Reference Guide

•Infiniium Service Guide for Models 54810A/15A/20A/25A Oscilloscopes

or Infiniium Service Guide for Model 54835A and 54845A Oscilloscope

See figure 1-1. (See table 1-3 for the power cord.) If anything is missing, contact

your nearest Agilent Technologies Sales Office. If the shipment was damaged,

contact the carrier, then contact the nearest Agilent Technologies Sales Office.

❏Inspect the oscilloscope.
