Below 7 mV/div expansion is used and full scale is defined as 56 mV. The ranges from 1 to 6 mV/div are
accomplished in firmware, and will be within specifications when the 7 mV/div range is within specifications.
Initiate a V avg measurement.
Press (blue) , V avg ,and i (channel number, entry menu).
Press the channel number key (bottom row) and set the v/div range and postition
from the first line of the table.
With the supply disconnected from the channel input, note the V avg reading.
mV
Set the power supply voltage from the first line of the table.
Connect the power supply to the channel input and note the V avg reading.
Vv
Subtract the value in step 6 from the value in step 8. Record the difference in the
Performance Test Record.
On the same channel, Repeat steps 5 through 9 for the rest of the lines of the table.
With the channel keys (bottom row), set the active channel off and the next on.
Move the blocking capacitor combination to the next channel and repeat steps 4
through 11 for that channel.
Repeat steps 5 through 12 for the rest of the channels.
lf the test fails
Voltage measurement errors can be caused by the need for self-calibration. Before
troubleshooting the instrument, perform self-calibration, 0. vertical cal, (see “To Calibrate the
Firmware" in chapter 4, “Calibrating and Adjusting’). If self-calibration fails to correct the problem,
the cause may be the attenuator or main assembly.
