• If the shipping container is damaged, or the cushioning materials show signs of stress, notify the carrier as well as your HP sales office. Keep the shipping materials for the carrier’s inspection. The HP office will arrange for repair or replacement at Hewlett-Packard’s option without waiting for claim settlement.
Page 18: To Connect A Signal To The Oscilloscope
To connect a signal to the oscilloscope To connect a signal to the oscilloscope The HP 54600B and HP 54603B are a two-channel oscilloscopes with an external trigger input, while the HP 54601B and HP 54602B are four-channel oscilloscopes. The four-channel oscilloscope replaces the external trigger input with channels 3 and 4.
Page 19 The Oscilloscope at a Glance To connect a signal to the oscilloscope You should compensate 10:1 probes to match their characteristics to the oscilloscope. A poorly compensated probe can introduce measurement errors. To compensate a probe, follow these steps. Connect the 10:1 probe from channel 1 to the front-panel probe adjust signal on the oscilloscope.
Page 20: To Display A Signal Automatically
The trigger source selected is the highest numbered input that has a signal applied. (If a signal is connected to the external trigger input on the HP 54600B and HP 54603B, then it is selected as the trigger source.) Connect a signal to the oscilloscope.
Page 21: To Set Up The Vertical Window
The Oscilloscope at a Glance To set up the vertical window To set up the vertical window The following exercise guides you through the vertical keys, knobs, and status line. Center the signal on the display with the Position knob. The Position knob moves the signal vertically, and it is calibrated.
Page 22 • Change the vertical sensitivity with the Volts/Div knob and notice that it causes the status line to change. For channels 3 and 4 on the HP 54601B and HP 54602B, press . Then use the softkeys to change the vertical sensitivity.

Page 25: To Trigger The Oscilloscope
On the HP 54601B and HP 54602B and on an internally triggered HP 54600B and HP 54603B, as you turn the Level knob or press a trigger menu key, for a short time two things happen on the display. First, the trigger level is displayed in inverse video.
Page 26 • Toggle each of the softkeys and notice which keys affect the status line. On the HP 54600B and HP 54603B, external trigger is always dc coupled. If you select ac coupling or low frequency reject, these functions do not occur until you change the trigger source to channel 1, channel 2, or line.
Page 27: To Use Roll Mode
The Oscilloscope at a Glance To use roll mode To use roll mode Roll mode continuously moves data across the display from right to left. It allows you to see dynamic changes (like adjusting a potentiometer) on low frequency signals. Two frequently used applications are transducer monitoring and power supply testing.

For example, if the event is derived from TTL logic, a trigger level of 2 volts should work on a rising edge.
Page 36 There are twice as many sample points per waveform on the one-channel acquisition than on the two-channel acquisition. On the HP 54600B and HP 54603B, channels 1 and 2 are captured simultaneously. On the HP 54601B and HP 54602B channels 1 and 2 are captured simultaneously, then on the next trigger channels 3 and 4 are captured simultaneously.

Page 61: To Use The Xy Display Mode
Operating Your Oscilloscope To use the XY display mode To use the XY display mode The XY display mode converts the oscilloscope from a volts versus time display to a volts versus volts display. You can use various transducers so the display could show strain versus displacement, flow versus pressure, volts versus current, or voltage versus frequency.
Page 62 X-axis input, channel 2 is the Y-axis input, and channel 4 (external trigger in the HP 54600B and HP 54603B) is the Z-axis input. If you only want to see portions of the Y versus X display, use the Z-axis input. Z-axis turns on and off the trace (analog oscilloscopes called this Z-blanking because it turned the beam on and off).

If you have Option 005 Enhanced TV/Video Trigger installed in your HP 54602B oscilloscope, refer to Chapter 3 "Using Option 005 Enhanced TV/Video Trigger." The TV sync separator in the oscilloscope has an internal clamp circuit. This removes the need for external clamping when you are viewing unclamped video signals.
Page 66 Operating Your Oscilloscope To analyze video waveforms Set the time base to 200 µs/div, then center the signal on the display with the delay knob (delay about 800 µs). Press , then press the softkey. Delayed Main/Delayed Set the delayed sweep to 20 µs/div, then set the expanded portion over the VITS (delay about 988.8 µs).
Page 67 Full screen display of the IRE Delay in TV line units hint HP 54600B-series oscilloscopes with system ROM versions 2.1 and greater have the ability to display delay in TV-line units. Using the TV field trigger mode activates this line-counting feature. When Field 1 or Field 2 is selected as the trigger source, delay can be set in terms of time or line number.
Page 68 To analyze video waveforms Both-fields triggering hint The HP 54600B-series oscilloscopes can trigger on the vertical sync pulse in both TV fields at the same time. This allows you to view noninterlaced video signals which are common in today’s computer monitors. To trigger on both sync pulses, press Field 1 and Field 2 at the same time.
