properly. To run the self-test:
a Pull down the Utilities menu and select SelfTest.
b Select Scope SelfTest from the SelfTest list.
c Click on Start SelfTest to start the self test procedure.
If any of the self-tests fail, ensure that the failure is diagnosed and repaired before
calibrating and testing performance.

Performance calibration.
After the warm up period, calibrate the oscilloscope.
a Pull down the Utilities menu and select Calibration.
b Uncheck to Cal Memory Protect box to allow calibration.
c Click on Start to start the calibration procedure.
Follow the on-screen instructions as calibration proceeds.
