Performance Tests
The procedures are in three groupings: Signal Acquisition System Checks,
Time Base System Checks, and Triggering System Checks. They check all
the characteristics that appear in boldface type under Warranted
Characteristics on page 1Ć3.
The tests in this subsection comprise an extensive, valid confirmation of
performance and functionality when the following requirements are met:
H The cabinet must be installed.
H You must have performed and passed the procedures under Self Tests,
on page 4Ć5 and those under Functional Tests, on page 4Ć7.
H The digitizing oscilloscope must have been operating for a warmĆup
period of at least 20 minutes, and must be operating at an ambient
temperature between -10_ĂC and +55_ĂC.
These procedures check signal acquisition system characteristics that are
listed as checked under Warranted Characteristics in the Specifications
section.
Check DC Voltage Measurement Accuracy
WARNING
Performance of this procedure requires input voltages up to
98 VDC. Contact with live circuits could cause injury or death. Be
sure to set the DC calibration generator to 0 volts before connectĆ
ing, disconnecting, and/or moving the test hookup during the
performance of this procedure.
Equipment Required: One dualĆbanana connector (Item 3), one DC calibraĆ
tion generator (Item 6), and one precision coaxial cable (Item 2).
Time Required: Approximately 35 minutes.
Prerequisites: The oscilloscope must meet the prerequisites listed on
page 4Ć11.
Procedure:
1. Set the output of a DC calibration generator to 0 volts.
