Operator's Manual
EXTERNAL CONTROLLER
Connect a USB-A/B cable from the USBTMC port on the back of the instrument to the controller. Go to
Utilities > Preference Setup > Remote to configure remote control.
OTHER INSTRUMENT (FOR REFERENCE CLOCK)
Connect a BNC cable from Ref In/Out on the back of the oscilloscope to the other instrument. Go to
Timebase > Horizontal Setup > Reference Clock to configure the clock.
OTHER AUXILIARY DEVICE
Connect a BNC cable from Aux Out on the back of the instrument to the other device. Go to Utilities >
Utilities Setup > Aux Output to configure the output.
Powering On/Off
The Standby Power button at the lower, left front of the oscilloscope controls the operational state
of the instrument.
Press the button to switch the instrument into Standby mode (reduced power); press it again to return to
full operation.
CAUTION. Do not change the instrument’s Windows Power Options setting from the default
Never to System Standby or System Hibernate. Doing so can cause the system to fail.
CAUTION. Do not power on or calibrate the oscilloscope with a signal attached.
Always use the File > Shutdown menu option to execute a proper shut down process and preserve
settings before powering down. Pressing and holding the Standby button will execute a “hard” shutdown,
the same as on a computer, but we do not recommend doing this because it does not allow the Windows
operating system to shut down properly. Do not power off by pulling the power cord from the socket or
shutting off a connected power strip without first shutting down properly.
The Standby button does not disconnect the oscilloscope from the AC power supply. The only way to fully
power down the instrument is to unplug the AC power cord from the outlet.
We recommend unplugging the instrument if it will be unused for a long period of time.
Software Activation
The oscilloscope operating software (firmware and standard applications) is active upon delivery. Upon
power-up, the oscilloscopes loads the software automatically.
Firmware
Free firmware updates are available periodically from the Teledyne LeCroy website at
teledynelecroy.com/support/softwaredownload. Registered users can receive an email notification when
a new update is released. Follow the instructions on the website to download and install the software.
Purchased Options
If you decide to purchase an option, you will receive a license key via email that activates the optional
features on the oscilloscope. See Add a New Software Option.
