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.
Connect and disconnect properly. De-energize the circuit under test before
connecting or disconnecting the current probe.
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.
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 MSO4000B and the DPO4000B 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 MSO4000B and DPO4000B 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 specified operating temperature range. (See Table 11 on page 24.)
You must perform the Signal Path Compensation (SPC) operation described
instep2oftheSelf Test before evaluating specifications. (See page 55, Self
Test.) If the operating temperature changes by more than 10 °C (18 °F), you
must perform the SPC operation again.

Specifications
Table 2: Horizontal and acquisition system specifications (cont.)
Characteristic Description
The formula to calculate the delta-time measurement accuracy (DTA) for a given instrument
setting and input signal is given in the following table. (See Table 3.) The formula assumes
insignificant signal content above Nyquist and insignificant error due to aliasing. The
abbreviations used in the formula are as follows:
SR1= slew rate around 1st point in measurement (1st edge)
SR2= slew rate around 2nd point in measurement (2nd edge)
N =input-referred noise (VRMS)(RefertoRandom Noise and Sample Acquisition Mode
specifications.)
TBA = time base accuracy (5 ppm) (Refer to Long-term Sample Rate and Delay Time
Accuracy specifications.)
tp= delta-time measurement duration (sec)
RD = (record length)/(sample rate)
tsr = 1/(sample rate)
assume edge shape that results from Gaussian filter response
Delta-time measurement
accuracy
The term under the square-root sign is the stability and is due to TIE (Time Interval Error). The
errors due to this term occur throughout a single-shot measurement. The second term is due
to both the absolute center-frequency accuracy and the center-frequency stability of the time
base and varies between multiple single-shot measurements over the observation interval (the
amount of time from the first single-shot measurement to the final single-shot measurement).
Table 3: Delta-Time measurement accuracy formula
The terms used in these formulas are defined under Delta-time measurement accuracy, in the preceding table. (See Table 2.)
