2 Testing Performance
To verify dual cursor accuracy
This test verifies the dual cursor accuracy for each analog channel.
This test is similar to the test for verifying the DC vertical gain, except you will
measure the dc voltage output of an precision source using dual cursors on the
oscilloscope and compare the results with the multimeter reading.
Dual cursor accuracy test limits: ±[DC vertical gain accuracy + 0.42% full scale]
For the DC vertical gain accuracy test limits, see Table 6 on page 29.
1 Press [Save/Recall] > Default/Erase > Factory Default to recall the factory default
setup.
2 Set up the oscilloscope.
a Set the Volts/Div setting to the value in the first line in Table 10 (depending
on the oscilloscope model).
b Adjust the channel 1 position knob to place the baseline at 0.5 major division
from the bottom of the display.
