Infiniium Osci oscopes

In This Book
This book gives you the information you need to begin using the Infiniium
Oscilloscope. 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.
CAUTION The Infiniium Osci oscope uses a specia y designed Windows 98 app ication
program. Whi e it is possib e to access some standard Windows 98 app ication
programs, it is not recommended. A Infiniium Osci oscope functiona ity is
direct y avai ab e from within the Infiniium Osci oscope app ication. Other
app ication software may or may not function correct y. Windows 98
configuration changes made outside of the Infiniium Osci oscope app ication
may not work correct y and cou d cause improper operation of the
osci oscope.
