Primary Trouble Isolation
The actions in the Primary Trouble Isolation are done without disassembling the oscilloscope.
Interaction of the front panel with the rest of the oscilloscope and other indicators are used to

A letter is assigned to boxes in the flowchart. The letter corresponds to a specific section in the

1 Power-on the oscilloscope.
A short time after the oscilloscope is turned on, the oscilloscope graticule is displayed on
