Installation
2. Check the shape of the displayed
waveform to determine if your
probe is prope
rly compensated.

3. If necessary,
adjust your probe.
Repeat as needed.
Quick Tips
Use the shortest possible ground lead
and signal path to minimize probe-induced
ringing a
nd distortion on the measured
signal.

Application Module Free Trial
A 30-day free trial is available for all application module licenses not installed in y our oscilloscope. The trial period begins
when you power on the oscilloscope for the first time.
After 30 days, you must purchase the module if you want to continue using the application. To see the date when your
free trial period expires, push Utility on the front panel, push Utility Page on the lower menu, turn the Multipurpo se a
knob to select Config, and push About on the lower menu.
Installing an Application Module
CAUTION. To avoid damage to the oscilloscope or application module, observe ESD (electrostatic discharge) precautions.
(See page 9, Powering on the Oscilloscope.)
Turn off the oscilloscope power while removing or adding an application module.
(See page 10, Powering off the Oscilloscope.)
