Installing and Starting the Optical Sampling Oscilloscope
Installing and Starting the Optical Sampling
Oscilloscope
Before you turn on the instrument, follow the procedure below.
To install and start the instrument:
1. Connect the included AC adapter to the input on the rear panel and to
the wall socket.
2. If you have not already done so, link the unit and the host computer
together using a USB cable.
Note: The first time you do this you are asked to install the USB driver on your
computer. Follow the instructions in Installing the Matlab Runtime, USB
Drivers and Optical Sampling Oscilloscope Software on page 12. If you are
working in Windows XP, make sure that you use the same USB port every
time afterwards. If not, you will have to install the USB driver again.
3. Turn on the instrument using the control on the rear panel. The blue
LED indicator on the front panel should be on. Wait 5 minutes and let
the instrument warm up.

Do not turn off the instrument unnecessarily, for example if you
change the host computer. If the instrument is turned off, it may
need to cool down for five minutes before it can be started again.
