Note: If connection error occurs, refresh the page in the web browser or restart the web browser for seamless interaction with the
instrument remotely.
When you access the instrument from an e*Scope browser, you cannot directly paste text (such as path, IP address information, and so
on) from the PC to an instrument menu field. You must use an intermediate clipboard function that is available in the e*Scope application.
Use the following steps to copy text from an e*Scope-connected PC to the instrument:
1. Open a connection to the instrument using e*Scope.
2. Select and copy the text on your PC.
3. In e*Scope, press Ctrl-Alt-Shift to open the Clipboard menu.
4. Paste the text into the Clipboard field.
5. Press Ctrl-Alt-Shift to close the browser Clipboard menu.
6. Use e*Scope to open the instrument menu to which to paste content, and position the cursor in the field where you want to paste the
text.
7. Press Ctrl-V (on real keyboard or from virtual keyboard) to paste the text from the e*Scope browser clipboard to the menu field.
8. Repeat steps 2 on page 61 through 7 on page 61 to copy and paste other text from the PC to the instrument.
Connect the oscilloscope to a PC using a USB cable
Use a USB cable to connect the oscilloscope directly to a PC for remote instrument control.
1. On the oscilloscope, select Utility > I/O from the menu bar.
2. Tap USB Device Port Settings.
3. Confirm that the USB Device Port control is On (default setting).
4. Connect a USB cable from the PC to the USB Device port on the instrument.
5. If using the USB connection to remotely control the oscilloscope using GPIB commands, set the GPIB Talk/Listen Address for your
configuration (0 - 30).
ESD Prevention Guidelines
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage oscilloscope and some probe inputs. This topic discusses how to avoid this type of damage.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a concern when handling any electronic equipment. The instrument is designed with robust ESD
protection, however it is still possible that large discharges of static electricity directly into the signal input may damage the instrument. Use
the following techniques to prevent electrostatic discharge from damaging the instrument.
• Discharge the static voltage from your body by wearing a grounded antistatic wrist strap while connecting and disconnecting cables,
probes, and adapters. The instrument provides a ground connection to which to attach a wrist strap (on the Probe Comp ground
connector).
