Digital Channels Because all of the oscilloscopes in the Keysight 3000G X-Series have analog channels, the analog channel topics in this book apply to all instruments. Whenever a topic discusses the digital channels, that information applies only to Mixed-Signal Oscilloscope (MSO) models or DSO models that have been upgraded to an MSO.

This chapter begins with “Solving General Problems with the Oscilloscope.
Troubleshooting Finally, this chapter describes procedures for “Troubleshooting Internal Assemblies when performing assembly-level repair: • To prepare for internal assembly troubleshooting. • To check the system board power supply test points. • To check the interboard supply connector voltages. • To check the line filter board AC output.
Check that the circuit under test is powered on. Press the [AutoScale] key. Obtain service from Keysight Technologies, if necessary. If the trace display is unusual or unexpected Check that the Horizontal time/division setting is correct for the expected frequency range of the input signals.
Troubleshooting If you cannot see a channel Recall the default setup by pressing [Default Setup]. This will ensure that the trigger mode is Auto. Check that the oscilloscope probe’s BNC connector is securely attached to the oscilloscope’s input connector. Check that the probe clips are securely connected to points in the circuit under test.
Troubleshooting Verifying Basic Operation To power-on the oscilloscope 1 Connect the power cord to the rear of the oscilloscope, then to a suitable ac voltage source. The oscilloscope power supply automatically adjusts for input line voltages in the range of 100 to 240 VAC. Ensure that you have the correct line cord (see page 133).
Troubleshooting Successfully passing Hardware Self Test does not guarantee 100% of the oscilloscope's functionality. Hardware Self Test is designed to provide an 80% confidence level that the oscilloscope is operating properly. To perform front panel self test Pressing [Utility] > Service > Front Panel Self Test lets you test the front panel keys and knobs as well as the oscilloscope display.
Troubleshooting To perform an Auto Scale on the Probe Comp signal 1 Press the [Default Setup] key. The oscilloscope is now configured to its default settings. 2 Connect an oscilloscope probe from channel 1 to the Probe Comp signal terminal on the front panel.
Troubleshooting To compensate passive probes You should compensate your passive probes to match their characteristics to the oscilloscope’s channels. A poorly compensated probe can introduce measurement errors. 1 Perform the procedure “To perform an Auto Scale on the Probe Comp signal"...

Replacing Assemblies After Service After service, a continuity check should be performed between the chassis and the mains inlet ground lug. A dielectric withstand (hipot) test should also be performed at the appropriate voltage per IEC 61010-1 Annex F. Because protective earth continuity is required for hipot testing, many hipot testers also test protective earth continuity.

Replacing Assemblies b The test voltage is specified for Installation Category II. The equipment shall withstand, without breakdown, the application of 1400V ac or 2000V dc between mains TERMINALS and ACCESSIBLE conductive parts. “Without breakdown” means the leakage current measured by the hipot tester is between 0 and 1 mA. DUT (oscilloscope) Hipot Tester High-voltage...
