General Information

To inspect package contents

❏Inspect the shipping container for damage.

If our shipping container appears to be damaged, keep the shipping container

or cushioning material until ou have inspected the contents of the shipment

for completeness and have checked the oscilloscope mechanicall and

electricall .

❏Verify that you received the following items and any optional accessories in

the oscilloscope packaging (see figure following).

• 54640-Series Oscilloscope (54641A, 41D, 42A, or 42D)

• 10073C 10:1 500 MHz passive probes with ID (qt 2)

• 54620-68701 digital probe kit (for 54641D or 42D)

• Accessor pouch and front-panel cover

• Power cord (see table 1-3)

• IntuiLink for 54600-series Oscilloscopes software and RS-232 cable.

IntuiLink is a Windows application that makes it ver eas for ou to

download images, waveform data, or oscilloscope setups from the

oscilloscope to our pc using either Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel. After

installation of IntuiLink, a tool bar in these Microsoft applications will make

connection and data transfer from the oscilloscope ver simple.

IntuiLink software is available free on the web at:

www.agilent.com/find/5462xsw

RS-232 cable ma be ordered separatel , part number 34398A

If an thing is missing, contact our nearest Agilent Sales Office. If the shipment

was damaged, contact the carrier, then contact the nearest Agilent Sales Office.

General Information

• Agilent IntuiLink Data Capture

IntuiLink Data Capture is a standalone program for downloading waveform

data from the oscilloscopes to our PC via GPIB or RS-232 interface. It

provides the capabilit to transfer deep memor 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 points regardless of actual number of acquisition points

on the screen. With the IntuiLink Data Capture, the amount of points

transferred will be the actual number of acquisition points currentl

displa ed or ou ma select the number of points to download. It provides

the following functionalit :

• Download waveform data and displa the data as a simple chart

• Save the data as binar or text files

• Cop the chart and a selected portion of the data to the clipboard. The

maximum data saved to the clipboard is 50,000 point

• Load saved waveform data back into the application

❏Inspect the oscilloscope

• If there is mechanical damage or a defect, or if the oscilloscope does not

operate properl or does not pass the performance tests listed in the Service

Guide, notif our Agilent Sales Office.

• If the shipping container is damaged, or the cushioning materials show signs

of stress, notif the carrier and our Agilent Sales Office. Keep the shipping

materials for the carrier’s inspection. The Agilent Sales Office will arrange

for repair or replacement at Agilent’s option, without waiting for claim

settlement.
