Contact your nearest Teledyne LeCroy customer service center or national distributor if anything is missing or damaged. We can only be responsible for replacement if you contact us immediately. We truly hope you enjoy using Teledyne LeCroy's fine products. Sincerely, David C. Graef Vice President and General Manager, Oscilloscopes Teledyne LeCroy iv Safety Safety To maintain the instrument in a correct and safe condition, observe generally accepted safety procedures in addition to the precautions specified in this section. The overall safety of any system incorporating this product is the responsibility of the assembler of the system. Symbols These symbols appear on the instrument or in documentation to alert you to important safety concerns: Caution of potential damage to instrument or Warning of potential bodily injury. Do not proceed until the information is fully understood and conditions are met. Caution, high voltage; risk of electric shock or burn. Caution, contains parts/assemblies susceptible to damage by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Frame or chassis terminal (ground connection). Alternating current. Standby power (front of instrument). Precautions Caution: Comply with the following to avoid personal injury or damage to your equipment. Use indoors only within the operational environment listed. Do not use in wet or explosive atmospheres. Maintain ground. This product is grounded through the power cord grounding conductor. To avoid electric shock, connect only to a grounded mating outlet. Connect and disconnect properly. Do not connect/disconnect probes, test leads, or cables while they are connected to a live voltage source. Observe all terminal ratings. Do not apply a voltage to any input that exceeds the maximum rating of that input. Refer to the body of the instrument for maximum input ratings. Use only power cord shipped with this instrument and certified for the country of use. Keep product surfaces clean and dry. See Cleaning. Do not remove the covers or inside parts. Refer all maintenance to qualified service personnel. Execise care when lifting. Use the built-in carrying handle. Do not operate with suspected failures. Do not use the product if any part is damaged. Obviously incorrect measurement behaviors (such as failure to calibrate) might indicate hazardous live electrical quantities. Cease operation immediately and secure the instrument from inadvertent use. 1 WaveSurfer 510 Oscilloscope Operator's Manual Operating Environment Temperature: 5 to 40° C. Humidity: Maximum relative humidity 80 % for temperatures up to 31° C, decreasing linearly to 50% relative humidity at 40° C. Altitude: Up to 3,000 m at or below 25° C. Cooling The instrument relies on forced air cooling with internal fans and vents. Take care to avoid restricting the airflow to any part. In a benchtop configuration, leave a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) around the sides between the instrument and the nearest object. The feet provide adequate bottom clearance. Follow rackmount instructions for proper rack spacing. Caution: Do not block the cooling vents. The instrument also has internal fan control circuitry that regulates the fan speed based on the ambient temperature. This is performed automatically after start-up. Cleaning Clean only the exterior of the instrument using a soft cloth moistened with water or an isopropyl alcohol solution. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive elements. Under no circumstances submerge the instrument or allow moisture to penetrate it. Dry the instrument thoroughly before connecting a live voltage source. Caution: Unplug the power cord from the AC inlet before cleaning to avoid electric shock. Do not attempt to clean internal parts. Refer all maintenance to qualified service personnel. 2 Safety Power AC Power The instrument operates from a single-phase, 100-240 Vrms (± 10%) AC power source at 50/60 Hz (± 5%) or a 100-120 Vrms (± 10%) AC power source at 400 Hz (± 5%). Manual voltage selection is not required because the instrument automatically adapts to the line voltage. Power Consumption Maximum power consumption with all accessories installed (e.g., active probes, USB peripherals) is 375 W (375 VA). Power consumption in Standby mode is 15 W. Ground The AC inlet ground is connected directly to the frame of the instrument. For adequate protection again electric shock, connect to a mating outlet with a safety ground contact. Caution: Use only the power cord provided with your instrument. Interrupting the protective conductor (inside or outside the case), or disconnecting the safety ground terminal, creates a hazardous situation. Intentional interruption is prohibited. 3 WaveSurfer 510 Oscilloscope Operator's Manual 4 Oscilloscope Overview Oscilloscope Overview Front of Oscilloscope A. Touch screen display G. Aux output B.

Kensington lock 7 WaveSurfer 510 Oscilloscope Operator's Manual Front Panel Front panel controls duplicate functionality available through the touch screen and are described here only briefly. Knobs on the front panel function one way if turned and another if pushed like a button. The first label describes the knob’s “turn” action, the second label its “push” action. Actions performed from the front panel always apply to the active trace. Many buttons light to show the active traces and functions. Trigger Controls Level knob changes the trigger threshold level (V). The level is shown on the Trigger descriptor box. Pushing the knob sets the trigger level to the 50% point of the input signal. READY indicator lights when the trigger is armed. TRIG'D indicator is lit momentarily when a trigger occurs. Setup opens/closes the Trigger Setup dialog. Auto sweeps after a preset time, even if the trigger conditions are not met. Normal sweeps each time the trigger signal meets the trigger conditions. Single sets Single trigger mode. The first press readies the oscilloscope to trigger. The second press arms and triggers the oscilloscope once (single-shot acquisition) when the input signal meets the trigger conditions. Stop pauses acquisition. If you boot up the instrument with the trigger in Stop mode, a "No trace available" message is shown. Press the Auto button to display a trace. Horizontal Controls The Delay knob changes the Trigger Delay value (S) when turned. Push the knob to return Delay to zero. The Horizontal Adjust knob sets the Time/division (S) of the acquisition system when the trace source is an input channel. The Time/div value is shown on the Timebase descriptor box. When using this control, the instrument allocates memory as needed to maintain the highest sample rate possible for the timebase setting. When the trace is a zoom, memory or math function, turn the knob to change the horizontal scale of the trace, effectively "zooming" in or out. By default, values adjust in 1, 2, 5 step increments. Push the knob to change to fine increments; push it again to return to stepped increments. 8 Oscilloscope Overview Vertical Controls Offset knob adjusts the zero level of the trace (making it appear to move up/down relative to the center axis).
