3. Correct the rise time measurement by accounting for the SD-22/26 sampling head’s
rise time. The SD-22/26 rise time is specified as <28 ps. Column B = sqrt((Column

6-55. Edge Abberation Verification
The following equipment is needed for this procedure:
• Tektronix 11801 oscilloscope with SD22/26 sampling head
• Output cable provided with the SC600
Before you begin this procedure, verify that the 5500A-SC600 is in the edge mode (the
Edge menu is displayed), and program it to output 1 V p-p @ 1 MHz. Press O to
activate the output.
