22 Set the DC supply voltage to -60.0 mV (or -2 V for the 1 MΩ version of this 
test).
23 Press [Clear Display] on the oscilloscope, wait for the number of averages to 
return to 256, and then record the DMM voltage reading as V

 and the 
scope V avg reading as V

 in the Offset Accuracy Test table (either the 50 
Ω or the 1 MΩ version of the table depending on which version of the test you 
are using). Fill in the V

24 Repeat steps 17b and 18 to 23 for the remaining channel 1 vertical scale 
settings in the Offset Accuracy Test section of the Performance Test Record 
(either the 50 Ω or the 1 MΩ version of the table depending on which version of 
the test you are performing). For each measurement, set both the DC supply 
voltage (External Supply Setting) and the Channel offset voltage to the positive 
External Supply Setting value and then to the negative External Supply Setting 
value in the External Supply
 
Setting column of the Offset Accuracy Test table 
for each of the vertical scale settings.
25 Move the Tee connector to the next channel input and repeat steps 17 to 24 for 
channels 2 to 4.
26 Repeat steps 16 through 24 for the 1 MΩ channel input impedance setting. This 
means you should follow the directions exactly as stated except in step 18 you 
will select the 1 MΩ button instead of the 50 Ω one and all values will be 
entered in the Offset Accuracy Test (1 MΩ) section of the Performance Test 
Record rather than the Offset Accuracy Test (50 Ω) section. Also be sure to use 
the external supply settings and offset values from the 1 MΩ version of the 
Offset Accuracy Test table as they are different than the 50 Ω version.
