Do not negate the protective action of the ground connection to the

oscilloscope. The oscilloscope must remain grounded through its

 

 

power cord. Defeating the ground creates an electric shock hazard.

To verify basic oscilloscope operation

If you have a 6000L Series oscilloscope, you will need to start a

Web control session, as described on page 44.

1Press the Save/Recall key on the front panel, then press the Default Setup softkey. (The softkeys are located directly below the display on the front panel.) The oscilloscope is now configured to its default settings.

2Connect an oscilloscope probe from channel 1 to the Probe Comp signal terminal on the front panel.

3Connect the probe’s ground lead to the ground terminal that is next to the Probe Comp terminal.

4Press AutoScale.
