DC Gain Accuracy Test
t
Ensure that the input voltage to the oscilloscope never exceeds ±5 V.
The oscilloscope must be warmed up (with the oscilloscope application running) for at least
30 minutes at ambient temperature prior to the start of any performance test.

Ω Input Impedance: Full scale is defined as 8 vertical divisions. Magnification is used below
2 mV/div. Below 2 mV full scale is defined as 16 mV. The major scale settings are 5 mV, 10 mV,
20 mV, 50 mV, 100 mV, 200 mV, 500 mV and 1 V.
