S-Series Oscilloscopes Service Guide 91
Setting the Calibration Factors after Replacing the Acquisition Board
After you replace the acquisition board you must run a service calibration on the
oscilloscope. This procedure needs to be performed only once after the acquisition
board is replaced.
1 Perform self tests as described on page 19.
2 Allow the oscilloscope to warm up for 30 minutes.
3 Perform a service calibration.
The oscilloscope must be warmed up (with the oscilloscope application running) for at least
30 minutes at ambient temperature before starting the calibration procedure. Failure to allow
warm up may result in inaccurate calibration.
