General Safety Summary
Read the following precautions carefully to avoid any personal injuries, or
damage to the instrument or products connected to it. Use the instrument
only as specied.
Use only the power cord supplied for the instrument.
Ground the instrument. The instrument is grounded through the ground
conductor of the power cord. To avoid electric shock, always connect to
grounded outlets. Make sure the instrument is grounded correctly before
connecting its input or output terminals.
Connect the signal wire correctly. To avoid damage, observe input polarity
and maximum voltage/current ratings at all times.
Observe all terminal ratings and signson the instrument to
avoid re or electric shock. Before connecting to the instrument, read the
manual to understand the input/output ratings.

or components when the power is on.
Do not operate without covers. Do not operate the instrument with covers or
panels removed.
Use only the fuse specied for the instrument.
Use proper over voltage protection.
Use anti-static protection. Operate in an anti-static protected area. Ground
measurement cable conductors before connecting to the instrument to
discharge any static electricity before connecting the cables to the instrument.

General Inspection
1. Inspect the shipping container
Keep the damaged shipping container or cushioning material until the contents of
the shipment have been completely checked and the instrument has passed both
electrical and mechanical tests.
The consigner or carrier will be responsible for damage to the instrument resulting from
shipment. Teledyne LeCroy would not provide free maintenance or replacement if the
instrument has been damaged in shipment.
2. Inspect the instrument
If there are instruments found damaged, defective or failure in electrical and
mechanical tests, please contact Teledyne LeCroy.
3. Check the accessories
Please check the accessories according to the packing list. If the accessories are
incomplete or damaged, please contact your Teledyne LeCroy sales representative.

Adjust the Supporting Legs
Adjust the supporting legs properly to use them as stands to tilt the oscilloscope
upwards for stable placement as well as easier operation and observation of the
instrument.
Connecting to Power Supply
The standard power supply for the instrument is 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz or 100-120 V,
400 Hz. Please use the power cord provided with the instrument to connect it to AC
power.

Probe Compensation
All oscilloscope probes should be properly compensated before their rst use with
the oscilloscope. A non-compensated or inadequately compensated probe may
cause inaccurate measurement. The following steps illustrate the proper probe
compensation procedure.
1. Use the probe to connect the CH1 Input Terminal and the Compensation Signal
Output Terminal on the front panel. Connect the ground alligator clip of the
probe to the “Ground Terminal” under the compensation signal output
terminal.
2. Check the displayed waveforms and compare them with the following figure.
Under
Compensated
Compensated
Correctly
Over
Compensated
3. Use a nonmetallic flat-head screwdriver to adjust the low-frequency
compensation adjustment hole on the probe until the waveform matches the
“Compensated Correctly” waveform above.

User Interface
Menu Bar with drop-down menus lets you access set-up dialogs and other
functions. All functionality can be accessed through the menu bar.
Grid Area displays the waveform traces. Traces can be moved by dragging
them and re-scaled by pinch and spread.
Channel descriptor boxes include analog channels (C1 - C4), digital channels
(D), math (F1-F2) and reference (Ref). They are located under the grid area,
showing the parameters of the corresponding traces. Touching the boxes
creates a dialog box.
Timebase and Trigger Descriptor Boxes show the parameters of timebase
and trigger respectively. Touching the boxes creates a dialog box.
Dialog Box is the main area to select the parameters for a chosen specific
function.
Trigger Delay Indicator locates where the waveform triggers on the horizontal
axis.
Trigger Level Indicator shows the level where the waveform triggers on the

13
vertical axis.
Cursors show where measurement points have been set.

To Set Parameters
The T3DSO2000A provides several different ways to set parameters:
Switch – sets parameters with two states, such as to
enable or disable a function. Touch the switch region to
change from one state to the other.
List – sets parameters with more than
two options, such as the coupling mode
of channels. Touch the parameter
region, and then select the expected
option from the pop-up list.
Virtual Keypad – Sets parameters with a numerical value.
Touch the parameter region, and the parameter can be
adjusted by the universal knob on the front panel; touch
the region again, then the virtual keypad appears;
To use the operation of setting
“deskew” of the channel as an
example: If the expected value is 65 ns,
input “65” on the virtual keypad, and
then choose the unit n to complete
the operation. On the virtual keypad,
touching the button Max , Min , and
Default quickly sets the parameter to
its maximum, minimum and default
values.

Touch Gestures
Waveforms, cursors and trigger level can be adjusted by touch gestures in the grid
area.
Drag the waveform left and right to move
it on the horizontal axis
Pinch and spread the waveform
horizontally to re-scale the timebase
Drag the waveform up and down to move
it on the vertical axis
Pinch and spread the waveform
vertically to re-scale the vertical gain

17
Touch and drag the cursor to move it
Touch and drag the cursor information
region to move the pair of cursors
simultaneously
Draw a rectangular box to create a zone
or a histogram region. At the beginning
of the gesture keep the angle close to 45°
so it can be recognized as the drawing
box gesture

Front Panel
Most of the front panel controls duplicate
functionality available through the touch screen
display. They are covered in more detail in the
Basics section and in the User Manual.
Automatically sets the waveform to
adapt the display according to its
frequency and amplitude
Resets the oscilloscope to the default
conguration.
Enables or disables the touch screen.
When it is lighted the functionality is
enabled
Rotate the universal knob to set the
value of the activated parameter, or to
move the selected cursor. Push to
select a different cursor.
