TDS5000B Series Specifications and Performance Verification

Performance Tests
This section contains a collection of manual procedures for checking that the
TDS5000B Series Oscilloscopes performs as warranted. The preceding
procedures are faster to complete, and should be done first if you intend to
perform the performance tests.
The procedures are arranged in four logical groupings: Signal Acquisition System
Checks, Time Base System Checks, Triggering System Checks,andOutput Ports
Checks. They verify all characteristics designated as checked in the Specifica-
tions section. (The characteristics that are checked appear with a n).
STOP. The following procedures extend the confidence level provided by the
basic procedures described on page 2--5. The basic procedures should be
completed first; then complete the procedures in this section, if desired.
Prerequisites
The tests in this section comprise an extensive, valid confirmation of perform-
ance and functionality when the following requirements are met:
H The cover is not removed from the oscilloscope.
H You have performed and passed the procedures under Self Tests, found on
page 2--5, and those under Functional Tests, found on page 2--6.
H You have completed a signal-path compensation within the recommended
calibration interval and at a temperature within ±5 _C(±9 _F) of the present
operating temperature. (If at the time you did the prerequisite Self Tests, the
temperature w as within the limits just stated, consider this prerequisite met).
H The oscilloscope was last adjusted at an ambient temperature between 20 _C
(68 _F) and 30 _C(86_F), has been warmed-up for a period of at least
20 minutes, and is operating within the ambient temperature described in
Table 1-- 10 on page 1--22. (The warm-up requirement is usually met in the
course of meeting the Self Tests and Functional Tests prerequisites listed
above).
