3. Select RUN - REPETITIVE. Wait approximately 15 seconds (averaging complete), then select
STOP. The display should read 0.00 V ± 320.0 mV as read from the markers voltage field. Record
the reading in the performance test record.
4. In the Channel menu, change the vertical sensitivity to 1 V/Div. Select RUN - REPETITIVE and wait
approximately 15 seconds (averaging complete), then select STOP. The display should read 0.00 V
± 80.0 mV. Record the reading in the performance test record.
5. In the Channel menu, change the vertical sensitivity to 100 mV/Div. Select RUN - REPETITIVE and
wait approximately 15 seconds (averaging complete), then select STOP. The display should read
0.00 V ± 8.0 mV. Record the reading in the performance test record.
6. In the Channel menu, change the vertical sensitivity to 10 mV/Div. Select RUN - REPETITIVE and
wait approximately 15 seconds (averaging complete), then select STOP. The display should read
0.00 V ± 800.0 µV. Record the reading in the performance test record.

7. Use the BNC-to-banana adapter to connect the BNC cable between the power supply and channel
1 input. Monitor the power supply using a voltmeter.
8. Use the following table for the next steps:

9. In the Channel menu set the V/Div range and offset per the first line of the table. Set the power
supply per the first line of the table.
10. On the oscilloscope, select RUN - REPETITIVE and wait approximately 15 seconds (averaging
complete), then STOP.
11. Read the voltage from the markers voltage field. It should be within the limits given in the table. Re-
cord the reading in the performance test record.
12. Repeat steps 7 through 10 for the remaining lines of the table using the V/Div range, offset, and sup-
ply voltages given in the table.
13. In the Channel menu select channel 2. In the Waveform Selection menu delete channel 1 and insert
channel 2.
14. Repeat steps 1 through 12 for channel 2, replacing channel 1 with channel 2 where applicable.
