Probes The T3DSO3000 series supports passive and active probes. The 500 MHz passive probe is a standard accessory (1 probe per channel), for more details on Teledyne LeCroy’s probe offering please visit www.teledynelecroy.com/probes.
User Interface Menu Bar with drop-down menus lets you access set-up dialogs and other functions. All functionality can be accessed through the menu bar. Grid Area displays the waveform traces. Traces can be moved by dragging them and can be re-scaled by pinch and zoom. Channel descriptor boxes include analog channels (C1 - C4), digital channels (D), math (M) and reference (Ref).
To Set Parameters The T3DSO3000 series provides several different ways to set parameters: Switch - sets parameters with two states, such as to enable or disable a function. Touch the switch region to change from one state to the other...
Touch Gestures Waveforms, cursors and trigger level can be adjusted by touch gestures in the grid area. Drag the waveform left and right to move it on the horizontal axis Pinch and spread the waveform horizontally to re-scale the timebase Drag the waveform up and down to move it on the vertical axis Pinch and spread the waveform...
Touch and drag the cursor to move it Touch and drag the cursor information region to move the pair of cursors simultaneously Draw a rectangular box to create a zone or a histogram region. At the beginning of the gesture keep the angle close to 45° so it can be recognized as the drawing box gesture Choosing the Language...
Front Panel Most front panel controls duplicate functionality available through the touch screen display. These are covered in more detail in the Basics section and in the User Manual. Shortcut buttons give quick access to commonly used functions: Automatically sets waveform to adapt the display according to its frequency and amplitude...
Basic Operations Turn On / Disable a Channel From the Front Panel Push the channel button (1-4) to turn on the corresponding channel. Its channel descriptor box and dialog box will appear on the display. Push the same button again to disable the channel. From the Touch Screen Touch the ‘+’...
Vertical System When the channel is disabled, push the button to turn it on. When the channel is turned on but not activated, push the button to activate it. When the channel is turned on and activated, push the button to disable it. Rotate the knob to adjust the vertical scale (volts/div).

Touch the timebase descriptor box to display a quick dialog box. Timebase and Trigger Delay can also be set in this dialog box. Touch the region to set the timebase with the universal knob or the virtual keypad ▲ to increase and ▼ to decrease the horizontal scale Touch the region to set the the trigger delay with the universal knob or the virtual keypad...
Zoom Zooming the traces displays a magnified portion of the enabled channels. Pushing the timebase knob on the front panel zooms in on the traces. In Zoom mode the grid area is divided into two areas, the main window appears on the top and the zoom window on the bottom. The region without the grey background in the main window is the portion of trace that is magnified in the zoom window.
Trigger The trigger system supports multiple powerful triggering modes including serial bus triggering, please refer to the User Manual for more details. Opens trigger setup dialog box Single-mode – triggers once when all conditions are met Normal mode – triggers repeatedly when all conditions are met Auto mode –...

Touch the trigger descriptor box, a quick dialog box will pop up above it and a trigger setup dialog box will appear on the right side of the display. Touch the region to set trigger level with the virtual keyboard ▲...
Math Math creates a new trace that displays the result of applying a mathematical function (e.g. Sum, Product, FFT) to one or more source traces. Touch the + > Math or push the button on the front panel to create a math trace and open the math setup dialog box Math trace Math setup dialog box Selects the type of math operation...
Cursors Cursors set measurement points on the Vertical or Horizontal axis of a trace (or both). For more information please refer to the User Manual. Push the button to open the cursors setup dialog box Rotate the knob to move the selected Cursor, push to select a different cursor Enable/disable cursors Cursor mode.
Measure & Statistics You can set up to five simultaneous measurements on one or more traces, and view the active readout in a table below the grid. Statistics can be added to the readout. You can also use Gate to limit the measurements to a specific portion of the trace. Grid area is compressed automatically when measurement parameters are displayed “All measure”...
Reference Waveforms Reference waveforms (REFA, REFB, REFC, and REFD) are analog or math traces stored in the non-volatile memory. They can be recalled to the display for comparison with other traces. Original trace of analog channel Reference trace Information region of the reference waveform Reference waveform setup dialog box Selects the objective location Select the source (C1-C4, Math)
Save/Recall The T3DSO3000 supports saving and recalling multiple file formats, including waveform data, setups, images and calibration data. Press the button on the front panel, or touch Utility > Save/Recall to open the Save/Recall setup dialog box. Choose Save or Recall operation...
Calibration The oscilloscope is calibrated at the factory prior to being shipped. The calibration is run at 23 °C (± 2 °C) and is valid for temperatures 23 ± 5 °C. Within this temperature range, the oscilloscope will meet all specifications once warmed up. Warm up the oscilloscope for at least 20 minutes prior to each use or calibration in order for it to reach a stable operating temperature.
