Tutorial

This section quickly makes you acquainted with some of the fundamental

operations required to use the TDS Oscilloscope to take measurements. Start this

tutorial by doing Setting Up for the Examples on this page.

Setting Up for the Examples

Perform the following tasks to connect input signals to the TDS Oscilloscope, to

reset it, and to become acquainted with its display screen. Once completed, these

tasks ready the oscilloscope for use in the examples that follow.

Remove all probes and signal inputs from the input BNC connectors along the

lower right of the front panel. Then, using an appropriate probe (such as the

P6245), connect from the CH 1 connector of the oscilloscope to the PROBE

COMPENSATION connectors. (See Figure 2–1.)
