2 Front-Panel Controls

C A U T I O N

Only connect USB devices to the USB host port. Do not attempt to

connect a host computer to this port to control the oscilloscope. Use

 

 

the USB device port if you want to connect a host (see the InfiniiVision

 

6000 Series Oscilloscope Programmer’s Quick Start Guide for details).

 

 

 

 

7. Probe Compensation Terminals

Use the signal at these

 

terminals to match each probe’s characteristics to the

 

oscilloscope channel to which it is connected. See page 54.

 

8. AutoProbe Interface (Not available on 100 MHz bandwidth

 

models.) When you connect a probe to the oscilloscope, the

 

AutoProbe Interface attempts to determine the type of probe

 

and set its parameters in the Probe menu accordingly. See

 

page 81. Note: Although the 100 MHz models lack the AutoProbe

 

interface, they do have a probe sense ring around the BNC.

 

Therefore, the probe attenuation factor will be automatically set

 

when you connect a compatible probe such as the 10073C or

 

10074C.

 

 

9. Channel Input BNC Connector

Attach the oscilloscope probe

 

or BNC cable to the BNC connector. This is the channel’s input

 

connector.

 

10.

External Trigger Input Allows you to trigger the oscilloscope

using an external signal. See page 136.

11.

Trigger Output This output is related to the oscilloscope’s

internal trigger signal. See page 206.

12.

Calibration Protect Switch Set this switch to “Protect” to

prevent unwanted re-calibration. See page 105.

13.

10 MHz Reference Input/Output You can input a signal,

synchronizing multiple instruments, or you can output this instrument’s reference signal. See page 336.

14. XGA Video Output You can connect an external display to the oscilloscope for viewing waveforms. See page 260.
