5.2.1 Test Records
The last pages of this document contain test records. Keep them as masters and
use a photocopy for each calibration.
5.3 Turn On
If you are not familiar with operating the LT584, LT374/372, LT264/262 or LT354,
refer to the operator's manual.
!
Switch on the power using the power switch.
!
!
Wait for a minimum of 20 minutes for the scope to reach a stable operating
temperature, and verify:
The PNL files used depends on the scope model. The LTxxx represents the LT262, LT264,
LT354, LT372, LT374.
For the LT584 use the LT374
files.
