3.3.1.1. A8 1 MHz Waveform Voltage/Frequency Test
1 Replace the A8 module with a new (or known functional) A8.
2 Repeat procedure 3.3.1, steps 1, 2, and 3 .
QUESTION: Were the correct waveforms observed?
If Yes: A8 is defective, retain new A8 and retest.

1 Set the Instrument LCD display to the CLOCK/Set Menu.
2 Verify that the time (hh:mm:ss) display increments at one-second intervals.
QUESTION: Does the time display increment correctly?
If Yes: Go to, 3.3.3.
If No: Go to, 3.3.2.1.
3.3.2.1 Clock Does Not Increment
1 Remove instrument power and replace A8.
