Preparing the Oscilloscope for Use

To prepare your oscilloscope for use, you need to do the following tasks. After you have completed them, you will be ready to use the oscilloscope.

In the following topics you will:

•adjust the handle

•power-on the oscilloscope

•adjust the display intensity

•connect the oscilloscope probes

•connect the digital probes (with 54621D and 54622D)

•connect a printer

•connect a RS-232 cable

•verify basic oscilloscope operation

•get started using the oscilloscope interface

•learn how to use Quick Help

This chapter also tells you how to:

• clean the oscilloscope
