Troubleshooting the USB
Interface
Using the Error Log
6–38
1. Remove the rear case. (See page 6-10, Rear Case.)
2. Check that the coaxial connections to the back side of the BNC connectors are
intact. Use the DMM to measure continuity from the front side of the BNC
connector to the point where it attaches to the Main board.
NOTE.
The ground side of the BNC has three connections (two mounting lugs
and one signal wire) while the center connection has one. Incomplete or poor
connection of the ground side may cause AC signal quality problems without
affecting DC measurement capability.
3. If no problem is found and the trouble persists, the Main board is probably
defective in some way that the internal diagnostics cannot detect. Replace it.
To troubleshoot the USB interface, if the acquisition is working, and the USB is
not, replace the Main board.
Failures that occur during the power-up diagnostics or normal oscilloscope
operation place an entry in the error log.
