Getting Started The oscilloscope’s high-speed display can be used to isolate infrequently changing signals. You can then use the characteristics of these signals to help refine the trigger specification. For more information on triggering, data acquisition, data examination and measurement, and configuration, see the later chapters. Using the Oscilloscope, and Refining the Trigger Specification 1-3

Getting Started To inspect package contents • Agilent IntuiLink Data Capture (all except for 54621A or 21D) IntuiLink Data Capture is a standalone program for downloading waveform data from the oscilloscopes to your PC via GPIB or RS-232 interface. It provides the capability to transfer deep memory data out of the oscilloscope, allowing up to 4MB (scope channels) and 8MB (logic channels). The IntuiLink for 54600-Series limits the size of acquisition data available to a maximum of 2,000 poin
