Use the product only as specified. Review the following safety precautions to avoid injury and prevent damage to this product or any products connected to it. Carefully read all instructions. Retain these instructions for future reference.

This product shall be used in accordance with local and national codes.

For correct and safe operation of the product, it is essential that you follow generally accepted safety procedures in addition to the safety precautions specified in this manual.

The product is designed to be used by trained personnel only.

Only qualified personnel who are aware of the hazards involved should remove the cover for repair, maintenance, or adjustment.

Before use, always check the product with a known source to be sure it is operating correctly.

This product is not intended for detection of hazardous voltages.

Use personal protective equipment to prevent shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors are exposed.

While using this product, you may need to access other parts of a larger system. Read the safety sections of the other component manuals for warnings and cautions related to operating the system.

When incorporating this equipment into a system, the safety of that system is the responsibility of the assembler of the system.

Before connecting probes or test leads, connect the power cord from the power connector to a properly grounded power outlet.

Keep fingers behind the protective barrier, protective finger guard, or tactile indicator on the probes. Remove all probes, test leads and accessories that are not in use.

Use only correct Measurement Category (CAT), voltage, temperature, altitude, and amperage rated probes, test leads, and adapters for any measurement.

Beware of high voltages

Understand the voltage ratings for the probe you are using and do not exceed those ratings. Two ratings are important to know and understand:

• The maximum measurement voltage from the probe tip to the probe reference lead.
• The maximum floating voltage from the probe reference lead to earth ground.

These two voltage ratings depend on the probe and your application. Refer to the Specifications section of the manual for more information.

WARNING:To prevent electrical shock, do not exceed the maximum measurement or maximum floating voltage for the oscilloscope input BNC connector, probe tip, or probe reference lead.

These terms may appear in this manual:

WARNING:Warning statements identify conditions or practices that could result in injury or loss of life.

CAUTION:Caution statements identify conditions or practices that could result in damage to this product or other property.

These terms may appear on the product:

• DANGER indicates an injury hazard immediately accessible as you read the marking.
• WARNING indicates an injury hazard not immediately accessible as you read the marking.
• CAUTION indicates a hazard to property including the product.

When this symbol is marked on the product, be sure to consult the manual to find out the nature of the potential hazards and any actions which have to be taken to avoid them. (This symbol may also be used to refer the user to ratings in the manual.)

For 12-bit mode, there are 4096 DL's (digitizing levels) in a captured waveform. For 8-bit mode, there are 256 DL's. DL is the abbreviation for digitization level. A DL is the smallest voltage level change that can be resolved by an A-D Converter. This value is also known as an LSB (least significant bit).

In an un-zoomed time-domain waveform plot, the full vertical scale of the plot (in 12-bit mode) is 4000 DLs ±48 DLs "off-screen" but are still available for measurements, analysis, and download.

In 8-bit mode, there are 250 DLs displayed. ±3 digitizing levels are "off-screen" but are still available for measurements, analysis, and download.

Delta-time measurement accuracy, nominal

The formulas to calculate the peak-to-peak or rms nominal delta-time measurement accuracy (DTA) for a given instrument setting and input signal is as follows (assumes insignificant signal content above Nyquist frequency):

Where:

N = RSS of input-referred noise (V_RMS) and dynamic noise estimate (V_RMS)

SR ₁ = Slew Rate (1^st Edge) around 1^st point in measurement

SR ₂ = Slew Rate (2^nd Edge) around 2^nd point in measurement

Dynamic noise estimate.

Dynamic noise is noise that appears with a signal applied (such as distortion or interleave errors).

Tj = aperture uncertainty (sec rms -- 80 fs for short durations)

t _p = delta-time measurement duration (sec)

TBA = timebase accuracy or Reference Frequency Error (which is 20 ppb)

(Assumes insignificant error due to aliasing or over-drive.)

The term under the square root sign is the stability and is due to TIE (Time Interval Error). The errors due to this term occur throughout a single-shot measurement. The second term is due to both the absolute center-frequency accuracy and the center-frequency stability of the timebase and varies between multiple single-shot measurements over the observation interval (the amount of time from the first single-shot measurement to the final single-shot measurement).

Note:The formulas assume negligible errors due to measurement interpolation, and apply only when the interpolated sample rate is 25 GS/s or higher.

Nonvolatile memory capacity

Instrument S/N

A 2 kbit EEPROM on the main board that stores the instrument serial number, instrument start up count, total uptime and administration passwords.

Companion CvP

A pair of 16 Mbit flash memory devices that stores a portion of the Companion FPGA image data. One device serves as a backup for the other device.

AFG S/N

A 2 kbit EEPROM on the AFG riser card that stores a copy of the instrument serial number which is used to validate the AFG calibration.

Front Panel ID

A 64 kbit EEPROM on the LED board that stores the USB vendor ID and device ID for the internal front panel controller.

BIOS

A 128 Mbit flash memory device that stores the firmware image and device configuration for the host processor and chipset sub-processors. This includes the Basic Input Output System (BIOS), Management Engine (ME), Embedded Controller (EC) and Network Interface Controller (NIC). The Ethernet MAC address is stored in this device.

CMOS Memory

The host processor chipset includes an integrated memory device, powered by the real-time clock (RTC) battery, which stores BIOS configuration settings. A customer accessible switch disconnects the RTC battery from the chipset which clears the contents of the integrated CMOS memory device.

Memory SPD

Each SODIMM (memory module) contains a serial presence detect (SPD) memory device implemented using an unspecified memory technology. Each SPD device contains the parameter data specific to its memory module. All SPD devices are treated by the instrument as read only. The size of a given SPD is unspecified. The 4 channel instrument includes 4 SPD devices.

A power management unit (PMU) microcontroller is used to manage instrument power supplies and hardware initialization. The PMU includes 32 KB of nonvolatile memory for storage of its own binary executable and redundant storage of UCD9248 device settings.

Analog Board Controller

A microcontroller is used to manage analog board operation. The PMU includes 64 KB of nonvolatile memory for storage of its own binary executable.

Carrier FPGA

The carrier FPGA stores its own configuration in its own internal 0.33 Mbit nonvolatile memory. The carrier FPGA implements simple "glue logic" for the instrument.
