functioning correctly.
1 Connect an external keyboard to the keyboard port.
2 Connect an external VGA monitor to the VGA output connector on the rear panel.
3 Hold down the Tab key on the external keyboard, then apply power to the oscilloscope.
4 Verify that a message, such as the following, appears on the external monitor:
