2 Testing Performance
 
3 Set up the oscilloscope:
a Press [AutoScale].
b Set the oscilloscope Channel 1 vertical sensitivity to 200 mv/div.
c Set the oscilloscope horizontal sweep speed control to 10 ns/div.
d Adjust the intensity to get a sharp, clear trace.
e Adjust the oscilloscope’s trigger level so that the rising edge of the 
waveform at the center of the screen is located where the center horizontal 
and vertical grid lines cross (center screen).
f Ensure the horizontal position control is set to 0.0 seconds.
4 Make the measurement.
a Set oscilloscope horizontal sweep speed control to 1 ms/div.
b Set horizontal position control to +1 ms (rotate control CCW).
c Set the oscilloscope horizontal sweep speed control to 10 ns/div.
d Record the number of nanoseconds from where the rising edge crosses the 
center horizontal grid line to the center vertical grid line. The number of 
nanoseconds is equivalent to the time base error in ppm.
e Derive the date code from the oscilloscope’s serial number to calculate the 
number of years since manufacture. Include any fractional portion of a year.
i First, get the 3rd to 6th digits of the serial number. For example, for the 
serial number CN47470001, get “4747”.
ii If the number is greater than 4000, subtract 4000 to get the Date Code. 
For example, 4747-4000 is “0747”.
iii If the number is smaller than 4000, add 6000 to get the Date Code.
iv In the Date Code, the first two digits represent the year, and the second 
two digits represent the week in the year. For example, for “0747”, the 
year is “07” and the week is “47”.
f Use the following formula to calculate the test limits.
Time base accuracy limit: 50 ppm ±5 ppm per year (aging)
g Record the result and compare it to the limits in the Performance Test 
Record (see page 36).
