General Information

o inspect package contents

❏Inspect the shipping container for damage.

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

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

for completeness and have checked the oscilloscope mechanically and

electrically.

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

the oscilloscope packaging (see figure following).

• 54620-Series Oscilloscope (54621A, 21D, 22A, 22D, or 24A)

• 10074C 10:1 150 MHz passive probes with ID:

(2) for 54621A, 21D, 22A, or 22D oscilloscopes

(4) for 54624A oscilloscope

• 54620-68701 digital probe kit (for 54621D or 22D)

• Accessory pouch and front-panel cover (standard for 54622A, 22D, and 24A)

(optional on 54621A and 21D; order N2726A)

• Power cord (see table 1-3)

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

54622A, 22D, or 24A).

IntuiLink is a indows application that makes it very easy for you to

download images, waveform data, or oscilloscope setups from the

oscilloscope to your pc using either Microsoft ord or Microsoft Excel. After

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

connection and data transfer from the oscilloscope very simple.

IntuiLink software is available free on the web at:

www.agilent.com/find/5462xsw

RS-232 cable may be ordered separately, part number 34398A

If anything is missing, contact your 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 (for 54622A, 22D, or 24A)

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 points regardless of actual number of acquisition points

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

transferred will be the actual number of acquisition points currently

displayed or you may select the number of points to download. It provides

the following functionality:

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

• Save the data as binary or text files

• Copy 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

IntuiLink Data Capture software is available free on the web at:

www.agilent.com/find/5462xsw

RS-232 cable may be ordered separately, part number 34398A

❏Inspect the oscilloscope

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

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

Guide, notify your Agilent Sales Office.

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

of stress, notify the carrier and your 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.
