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 43.
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 65 and those under Functional Tests, on page 67.
H The digitizing oscilloscope must have been operating for a warmup
period of at least 20 minutes, and must be operating at an ambient tem
perature between -10_ C and +55_ C.
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 connecting, discon
necting, and/or moving the test hookup during the performance of
this procedure.
Equipment Required: One dualbanana connector (Item 3), one DC calibra
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 611.
Procedure:
1. Set the output of a DC calibration generator to 0 volts.
