Troubleshooting the Main
Board
To troubleshoo
t the Main board (acquisition m odule), follow these steps:
1. Remove the rear case. (See page 6-10, Rear Case.)
2. Use the test oscilloscope to measure the voltages from the power supply
module at J101 on the Main board module. The following table lists the
voltages yo
u should expect to see.

3. If all of the voltages are present, the Main board is probably defective.

Running Diagnostics
The oscilloscope runs an extensive self-diagnostic routine at every power-on.
Running the diagnostics from the Service menu will provide no additional
info
rmation and therefore is not needed. The menu selections are only used during
manufacturing of the oscilloscope.
Troubleshooting Input
Con
nections
Follow these steps to troubleshoot the input connections only if the o scilloscope
ap
pears to function normally in every way, but an input signal is not getting into
the oscilloscope as expected.
