bandwidths of 1 GHz, 500 MHz, 350 MHz and 200MHz. All models include a maximum
sample rate of 5 GSa/s, maximum record length of 250 Mpts, and display up to 4 analog
channels + 16 digital channels mixed signal analysis capability.
The T3DSO3000 series employs the latest technology which features a maximum
waveform capture rate of up to 110,000 wfm/s (normal mode, up to 500,000 wfm/s in
Sequence mode) and a 256-level intensity grading display function plus a color

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.
Only use 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 ensure that 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.
Do not operate with suspected failures. If you suspect that the instrument is damaged,
contact the Teledyne LeCroy service department immediately.
Do not operate in wet/damp conditions. Keep the surface of the instrument clean and
dry.
Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere.
Avoid touching exposed circuits or wires. Do not touch exposed contacts 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.
Observe ventilation requirements. Ensure good ventilation by checking the instrument’s
vent and fan regularly, to prevent overheating.

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.
Connect the AC power supply, then press the power switch to power on the oscilloscope.
Pressing the power switch for approximately 2 seconds will force the oscilloscope into
Standby mode. In Standby mode the oscilloscope still consumes around 4 W power. To
completely shut o the oscilloscope please disconnect the AC power supply.
The T3DSO3000 provides a “Power on Line” option. When enabled, the oscilloscope
powers on as soon as the AC power supply is connected. Follow the steps below to enable
this option:
LAN
Connect the LAN port to the network with a network cable with an RJ45 connector to
enable remote control. Follow the steps below to setup the LAN connection:
USB Peripherals
Connect a USB storage device to one of the USB host ports for data transfer or use the
USB host port to connect a USB mouse / keyboard to control the instrument.
External Monitor
Use a D-sub cable to connect the VGA port to an external monitor. The video signals from
the VGA port have a 1024 * 600 resolution.

8 Quick Start Guide
Auxiliary Output
When Pass / Fail is enabled, the port outputs the pass / fail signal, otherwise it outputs the
trigger indicator. Follow the steps below to set Pass / Fail:
Waveform Generator
Connect the USB function / arbitrary waveform generator module to any USB host port on
the oscilloscope. The oscilloscope can now control the USB module to output the
specied waveform.
Press the button on the front panel to set the waveform.
Probes
The T3DSO3000 series supports passive and active probes. The 500 MHz passive probe
is a standard accessory (1 probe per channel), for more details on Teledyne LeCroy’s
probe oering please visit www.teledynelecroy.com/probes.
Logic Probe
The logic probe is designed to probe up to 16 digital lines simultaneously. The 16 digital
channels are separated into two groups and each has it’s own threshold, making it
possible to simultaneously view data from logic families.

Quick Start Guide 9
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 can be re-scaled by pinch and zoom.
Channel descriptor boxes include analog channels (C1 - C4), digital channels
(D), math (M) 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 will create 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
vertical axis.
Cursors show where the measurement points have been set.

To Set Parameters
The T3DSO3000 series provides several dierent 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 coupling
mode of channels. Touch the
parameter region, and then select
the required option from the pop-
up list.
Virtual Keypad – Sets parameters with
numerical value. Touch the parameter
region, and the parameter can be adjusted
by the universal knob on the front panel;
touch the region again, and the virtual
keypad appears.
To use the operation “deskew” as
an example: If the expected value
is 65ns, 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 or default
value.

12 Quick Start Guide
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

Quick Start Guide 13
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
