Specific Precautions
Observe all of these precautions to ensure your personal safety and to prevent
damage to either the logic scope or equipment connected to it.
The logic scope is intended to operate from a power source that will not apply
more than 250 VRMS between the supply conductors or between either supply
conductor and ground. A protective ground connection, through the grounding
conductor in the power cord, is essential for safe system operation.
The logic scope is grounded through the power cord. To avoid electric shock,
plug the power cord into a properly wired receptacle where earth ground has
been verified by a qualified service person. Do this before making connections to
the input or output terminals of the logic scope.
Without the protective ground connection, all parts of the logic scope are
potential shock hazards. This includes knobs and controls that may appear to be
insulators.
Use only the power cord and connector specified for your product. Use only a
power cord that is in good condition.
To avoid fire hazard, use only the fuse specified in the parts list for your product,
matched by type, voltage rating, and current rating.
To avoid personal injury, do not operate the logic scope without the panels or
covers.
Never apply a voltage to a connector on the logic scope that is outside the
voltage range specified for that connector.
The logic scope provides no explosion protection from static discharges or arcing
components. Do not operate the logic scope in an atmosphere of explosive gases.
To prevent overheating, keep the logic scope ventilation holes free from
obstruction.
If you suspect the logic scope is damaged, have it inspected by a qualified
service person.

Preface
This is the User Manual for the TLS 216 Logic Scope.
Section 1 Getting Started familiarizes you with the operation of your logic
scope.
Section 2 Operating Basics covers basic principles of the operation of the logic
scope. The topics covered help you understand why your logic scope operates
the way it does.
Section 3 Reference teaches you how to perform specific tasks. See page 3–1 for
a complete list of tasks covered in that section.
The Appendices provide an options listing, an accessories listing, and other
useful information.
Conventions
In the Getting Started and Reference sections, you will find various procedures
which contain steps of instructions for you to perform. To keep those instructions
clear and consistent, this manual uses the following conventions:
HNames of front-panel controls and menu labels appear in boldface print.
HNames also appear in the same case (initial capitals, all uppercase, etc.) in
the manual as is used on the logic scope front panel and menus. Front panel
names are all upper case letters, for example, GROUP MENU and
GROUP 1.
HInstruction steps are numbered. The number is omitted if there is only one
step.
HWhen steps require that you make a sequence of selections using front-panel
controls and menu buttons, an arrow ( ➞) marks each transition between a
front panel button and a menu, or between menus. Also, whether a name is a
main menu or side menu item is clearly indicated: Press HORIZONTAL
MENU ➞Record Length (main) ➞500 points in 10 divs (side) ➞
Trigger Position (main) ➞Set to 20% (side).
Using the convention just described results in instructions that are graphically
intuitive and simplifies procedures. For example, the instruction just given
replaces these five steps:
1. Press the front-panel button HORIZONTAL MENU.
2. Press the main menu button Record Length.
Preface
xii TLS 216 User Manual
3. Press the side menu button 500 points in 10 divs.
4. Press the main menu button Trigger Position
5. Press the side menu button Set to 20%
Sometimes you may have to make a selection from a popup menu: Press
TRIGGER MENU ➞Type (main) ➞Edge (pop-up). In this example, you
repeatedly press the main menu button Type until Edge is highlighted in the
pop-up menu.
Related Manuals
