Oscilloscope Operations Safety Information WARNING: C. Applying a voltage to the ground input is likely to cause permanent damage to the oscilloscope, the attached computer, and other equipment. To prevent measurement errors caused by poor grounding, always use the high-quality USB cable supplied with the oscilloscope. External connections DANGER: D. To prevent injury or death, use only the power cord and adaptor supplied with the product.
Oscilloscope Operations Glossary 16.2 Glossary AC/DC Control Each channel can be set to either AC coupling or DC coupling. With DC coupling, the voltage displayed onscreen is equal to the true voltage of the signal with respect to ground. With AC coupling, any DC component of the signal is filtered out, leaving only the variations in the signal for the AC component.
Oscilloscope Operations Glossary Time Base The time base controls the time interval across the scope display. Voltage Range The voltage range is the range between the maximum and minimum voltages that can be accurately captured by the oscilloscope. Sinusoidal Waveform This term describes the waveform characteristics typically found in circuits with large inductance and capacitance, and often referred to as an AC signal.
Oscilloscope Operations MaxiScope Module Figure 16-2 Sample Square Waveform Peak to peak voltage This term indicates the difference in voltage between the minimum and maximum voltages occurring in the waveform. 16.3 MaxiScope Module The MaxiScope Automotive Oscilloscope tool kit is optional and available for purchase along with the MaxiSys package.

Chapter 19 Compliance Information FCC Compliance FCC ID: WQ8MAXISYSMY906TS (for MaxiSys MS906TS) FCC ID: WQ8MAXISYSMY906BT (for MaxiSys MS906BT) This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
Compliance Information Important Information Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. To avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to antenna should be minimized.
