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 or LAN interface card, see the Oscilloscopes
Programmer’s Reference for your model number oscilloscope found in the
Infiniium Information System.
• For information on testing and servicing the oscilloscope, see the Service
Guide manual for your model number oscilloscope found in Infiniium
Information System.

packaging.
• Infiniium Oscilloscope
•Mouse
• Touchscreen Stylus
• 10073C 10:1 10 MΩpassive probes (one for each analog channel on 8000A
series models only)
• Digital Probe Kit (MSO models only)
• Calibration Cable (80000B series models only)
• SMA to Precision BNC Adaptors (80000B series models only)
• Accessory Pouch
• Front Panel Cover
• Keyboard
•Powercord
• Probe De-skew and Performance Verification Kit (80000B series models
only)
•User’s Quick Start Guide
See the following figures for your model of Infiniium Oscilloscope. (See table
1-4 for the power cord.) If anything is missing, contact your nearest Agilent
