Basic Start-Up Procedure: (Refer to the picture of the oscilloscope front panel as you go
through this procedure).
1) Turn the oscilloscope ON by pressing the white button at the lower right corner of the CRT
screen (the graticule of the cathode-ray tube). You should see the “Startup Menu”, which
includes Softkeys (buttons directly under the CRT screen) labeled Getting Started, Using
Quick Help, About Oscilloscope, and Language. Try them all.
2) You probably weren’t the last person to use the oscilloscope, and it’s probably NOT set up to
do the measurements you want to make. A good way to start is to return the oscilloscope to
its “Default” condition by pressing the Save/Recall Hardkey in the File area of the front
panel, then pressing the Default Setup softkey. Do this now (see Agilent’s information
below).
You will now see a horizontal line in
the middle of the CRT graticule, and
at the top right is a blinking “Level”.
This area of the display is telling
you that the oscilloscope is
configured to trigger its sweep on
Channel 1, using positive edge
triggering in Auto Level mode, and
it’s NOT finding a signal at the
trigger Level of 0.00 V. This makes
sense, as there is no input signal at
this time.
IMPORTANT: The Default Setup does NOT change the how waveforms are saved to a floppy
disk. You should be sure to check that your oscilloscope file format for saving waveforms is TIF
(tagged image file). This can be selected by using the Utility hardkey, then the Print Confg
softkey followed by the Format softkey where TIF is selected. A saved waveform (the first one
will be called PRINT_00.TIF, then PRINT_01.TIF, etc.) can easily be imported into a Word
document as a picture.
Another graphic file Format choice is BMP (bitmap). While this is also easily imported into
Word, it takes twice as long to write the file (e.g. PRINT_01.BMP) to the diskette, and the file is
much bigger (about 6 times bigger!). The last choice for file format is CSV; this is Comma-
Separated Value format. It is not a graphic file, but is suitable for importing into a spreadsheet
program.
How to get help: Pressing and holding ANY key (hardkey or softkey) will bring up a help
screen on the display. What a handy way to learn about its features!
