Brief Procedures The Self Tests use internal routines to confirm basic functionality and proper adjustment. No test equipment is required to do these test procedures. The Functional Tests utilize the probe-compensation output at the front panel as a test-signal source for further verifying that the oscilloscope functions properly. A standard-accessory probe, included with this oscilloscope, is the only equipment required. Besides the Brief Procedures, the set of procedures that can be used to ve

Brief Procedures First, the CAL menu is displayed. Second, the adjustment sections are verified. Third, a signal path compensation is run and is verified. Figure 1-2: Verifying Adjustments and Signal-Path Compensation When doing steps f and g, do not turn off the oscilloscope until signal- path compensation completes. If you interrupt (or lose) power to the instrument while signal-path compensation is running, a message is logged in the oscilloscope error log. If such a case occurs, rerun signal

The only equipment required is one of the standard-accessory probes and, to check the file system, a 3.5 inch. 720 K or 1.44 Mbyte floppy disk. These procedures verify functions; that is, they verify that oscillo- scope features operate. They do not verify that they operate within limits. Therefore, when the instructions in the functional tests that follow call for you to ve
