16 S-Series Oscilloscopes Service Guide
2 Calibration
Procedure
1 Let the oscilloscope warm up before running the calibration.
The user calibration should be done only after the oscilloscope has run for 30
minutes at ambient temperature with the cover installed. Calibration of an
oscilloscope that has not warmed up may result in an inaccurate calibration.

You cannot run a user calibration if this check box is selected. See the following

scale calibration factors from the previous time scale calibration will be used
and the 10 MHz reference signal will not be required. The remaining
calibration procedure will continue.
