7 1.1 Product Overview 1.1 Chapter 1 Product Overview The Model 8860 and 8861 Memory HiCorders are data recorders that provide a broad range of measurements for observing both high-speed waveforms and low-speed signals. Various measurements including voltage, current, temperature and frequency are available using connection cables or sensors with optional input modules. Up to four input modules can be installed in the Model 8860, and up to eight in the 8861.

8 1.2 Features Measurement functions corresponding to measurement application Memory Function: Provides a sampling period as fast as 50 ns, suitable for observing instantaneous waveforms and transient phenomena. Recorder Function: Suitable for slow phenomena and observational recording. Real-Time Saving Function: Suitable for storing long-term measurement data. While measuring, data is saved directly onto recording media. FFT Function: Provides frequency analysis. See "4.1 Selecting the Function" (⇒ p.
PAGE 21
9 1.2 Features Search function Enhanced operability provided by GUI and support for a mouse or keyboard Operable using a commonly available mouse or keyboard. GUI screen displays are optimized to simplify both key operations and settings. See "3.3 Common Operations" (⇒ p. 62) Optional thermal printer A thermosensitive recording printer with thermal line head can be installed in the instrument. Specify and print sections of waveforms as occasion demands.

58 3.2 Before Operating 3.2.3 Using a Keyboard You can connect a commonly available keyboard to the instrument to enter characters directly. Entry methods: See "Using a Keyboard" (⇒ p. 63) Compatible Keyboard Types • USB Keyboard • PS/2 Keyboard Before Connecting to the Instrument • Do not connect any device other than a keyboard to the PS/2 keyboard jack. • Do not connect one keyboard to the PS/2 jack and another to the USB port. Use the keyboard only on an insulated surface.

60 3.2 Before Operating 3.2.5 If the Model 9684 DC Power Unit is Installed The Model 9684 enables the instrument to be operated from a DC power source such as a battery. When both AC power and the Model 9684 DC Power Unit are connected to the instrument, the AC power source has priority. However, when the instrument is operating from AC power and the power switch of the Model 9684 is on, the 9684 is in standby state, and some power is still consumed from the DC source.
