2.10 Precautions for Preventing Damage CAUTION • Always use 3-pin power cords when connecting external devices, including experimental circuits, to AC outlets. Connect the ground wires of external devices and MP2110A to a common ground. • Turn on the external devices, including experimental circuits, before connecting them to the MP2110A.
Page 108
Chapter 2 Before Use Follow the procedure below to check for electrical overstress to the MP2110A before connecting DUT (Device Under Test). Checking the ground connection using a tester Connect DUT and the ground terminal of the MP2110A with a ground wire.
Page 109
2.10 Precautions for Preventing Damage Checking the output waveform with an oscilloscope Connect the DUT and the oscilloscope using a cable with an impedance of 50 Ω. Set the input impedance of the oscilloscope to 50 Ω. Observe the waveform with the oscilloscope, and perform the following operations to check the observed waveform for surge voltage exceeding the rated voltage*.
Chapter 2 Before Use 2.10.2 Precautions When Using Bias-T When connecting an external device such as a Bias-T to the output connectors of the MP2110A, if the output signal includes any DC voltage, variations in the output of the DC power supply or load may change the level of the output signal, risking damage to the internal circuits.
Page 111
2.10 Precautions for Preventing Damage Measurement Preparation 2: Set the MP2110A output to OFF. Set the DC power supply output to OFF. Disconnect the MP2110A and all equipment, or change the DUT connections. Since even unforeseen fluctuations in DC voltage and load (open or short circuits at the MP2110A output side and changes caused by using a high-frequency probe, etc.) can damage the DUT and the MP2110A, we recommend connecting a 50 Ω...
CAUTION If MP2110A is connected to an external network like the Internet, there may be a risk of causing unexpected problems suffering unexpected losses. Anritsu Corporation is not responsible for any losses caused by connecting it to a network. 2-38...

Also, the level and time differences between two points can be measured. There are two markers each for the x- and y-axes. Display of each marker can be set to on or off separately.
Chapter 6 How to Operate Sampling Scope 6.9.6 Displaying Waveform Calculation MP2110A-021 can display the math results of two waveforms of CH A and CH B as different waveforms. The calculated math results can be measured at Section 6.9.1 “Setting and Displaying Measurement Items”. Note: When calculating the EYE pattern waveform, set Sampling Mode to Coherent Eye and collect the data.
Measuring Waveform 6.9.7 Using Trace Memory The trace memory is a function to save the measurement waveform in the memory. The waveform saved in the trace memory calls the reference trace. To save the waveform in the trace memory Click Setup to open the Setup dialog box. Select a channel or channels for waveform display by clicking the Trace switch buttons.
