General safety summary
General safety summary
Review the following safety precautions to avoid injury and prevent damage to
this product or any products connected to it.
To avoid potential hazards, use this product only as specified.
Only qualified personnel should perform service procedures.
To avoid fire or personal
injury
Use proper power cord. Use only the power cord specified for this product and
certified for the country of use.
Connect and disconnect properly. Do not connect or disconnect probes or test
leads while they are connected to a voltage source.
Ground the product. This product is grounded through the grounding conductor
of the power cord. To avoid electric shock, the grounding conductor must be
connected to earth ground. Before making connections to the input or output
terminals of the product, ensure that the product is properly grounded.
Observe all terminal ratings. To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all ratings
and markings on the product. Consult the product manual for further ratings
information before making connections to the product.
Connect the probe reference lead to earth ground only.
Do not apply a potential to any terminal, including the common terminal, that
exceeds the maximum rating of that terminal.
Power disconnect. The power cord disconnects the product from the power source.
Do not block the power cord; it must remain accessible to the user at all times.
Do not operate without covers. Do not operate this product with covers or panels
removed.
Do not operate with suspected failures. If you suspect that there is damage to this
product, have it inspected by qualified service personnel.
Avoid exposed circuitry. Do not touch exposed connections and components when
power is present.
Use proper AC adapter. Use only the AC adapter specified for this product.
Do not operate in wet/damp conditions.
Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere.
Keep product surfaces clean and dry.
Provide proper ventilation. Refer to the manual's installation instructions for details
on installing the product so it has proper ventilation.

Specifications
This chapter contains specifications for the DPO2000 and the MSO2000 series
oscilloscopes. All specifications are guaranteed unless noted as "typical."
Typical specifications are provided for your convenience but are not guaranteed.
Specifications that are marked with the symbol are checked in Performance
Verification.
All specifications apply to all DPO2000 and MSO2000 models unless noted
otherwise. To meet specifications, two conditions must first be met:
The oscilloscope must have been operating continuously for twenty minutes
within the operating temperature range specified.
You must perform the Signal Path Compensation (SPC) operation prior to
evaluating specifications. (See page 18, Signal Path Compensation (SPC).)
If the operating temperature changes by more than 10 °C (18 °F), you must
perform the SPC operation again.

channels 2 analog, digitized simultaneously 4 analog, digitized simultaneously
Input coupling DC, AC, or GND
AC coupling connects a capacitor in series with the input circuitry.
GND coupling provides a reference waveform derived from the values identified during SPC. This reference
waveform shows visually where ground is expected to be.

The maximum input voltage at the BNC, between the center conductor and shield is 450 Vpeak (<100 ms
duration), 300 VRMS to 4 MHz, derated to 6 VRMS at 200 MHz.

TekVPI Interface The probe interface allows installing, powering, compensating, and controlling a wide range of probes
offering a variety of features
If a probe requires 12 V bulk power, it must be supplied by the Optional External Power Adapter
The interface is available on all front panel inputs including Aux In
Total probe power 50 W from optional 12 V VPI External Power Adapter
Zero 12 V bulk power without optional External Power Adapter

"DL" is the abbreviation for "digitization level." A DL is the smallest voltage level change that can be
resolved by the 8-bit A-D Converter. This value is also known as the LSB (least significant bit).
