1- 2 Getting Started When you use the o scilloscopes to help test a nd troubleshoot your systems, you m ay do the foll owing: • Prepare the oscilloscope by connecting it to power and setting up the handle and screen intensity as desi red.
1- 3 Getting Started The oscilloscope’s high-speed display ca n b e used to isolate infre quently changing signals. You can then use the characteristics of these si gnals to help refi ne the trigger specifi cation. For m ore inform ation on triggering, data acquisition, data examination and measurement, and configuration, see the later chapter s.

Een belangrijk punt na aankoop van elk apparaat Agilent Technologies 54621A (of zelfs voordat je het koopt) is om de handleiding te lezen. Dit moeten wij doen vanwege een paar simpele redenen:
Als u nog geen Agilent Technologies 54621A heb gekocht dan nu is een goed moment om kennis te maken met de basisgegevens van het product. Eerst kijk dan naar de eerste pagina\'s van de handleiding, die je hierboven vindt. Je moet daar de belangrijkste technische gegevens Agilent Technologies 54621A vinden. Op dit manier kan je controleren of het apparaat aan jouw behoeften voldoet. Op de volgende pagina's van de handleiding Agilent Technologies 54621A leer je over alle kenmerken van het product en krijg je informatie over de werking. De informatie die je over Agilent Technologies 54621A krijgt, zal je zeker helpen om een besluit over de aankoop te nemen.
In een situatie waarin je al een beziter van Agilent Technologies 54621A bent, maar toch heb je de instructies niet gelezen, moet je het doen voor de hierboven beschreven redenen. Je zult dan weten of je goed de alle beschikbare functies heb gebruikt, en of je fouten heb gemaakt die het leven van de Agilent Technologies 54621A kunnen verkorten.
Maar de belangrijkste taak van de handleiding is om de gebruiker bij het oplossen van problemen te helpen met Agilent Technologies 54621A . Bijna altijd, zal je daar het vinden Troubleshooting met de meest voorkomende storingen en defecten #MANUAl# samen met de instructies over hun opplosinge. Zelfs als je zelf niet kan om het probleem op te lossen, zal de instructie je de weg wijzen naar verdere andere procedure, bijv. door contact met de klantenservice of het dichtstbijzijnde servicecentrum.
