3. Using
TIMEsns
change the time base to select manual time base ranging, and lock
the time base on 1 ms/div.
4. Press
: using

and
MOVE
move the Input A ground level (indicated by the
zero icon
in the left margin) to the center grid line.
5. Using
mV
RANGE
and
RANGE
select manual vertical ranging, and set the Input A sensitivity
range to 100 mV.
6. Set the 5500A to source the appropriate ac voltage and frequency, according to
Table 4-5.
7. Observe reading
A and check to see if it is within the range shown under the
appropriate column.
8. Continue through the test points.
9. Now check channel B, C or D in succession:
Press
TRIGGER
and select B, C or D as trigger source with
