the Service Diagnostic Menu because you will use it in the next check.
Sampling Efficiency Check
If the instrument fails this check, the waveforms might not look normal. If the
efficiency is more than 100%, the waveforms will appear noisy. If the efficiency is
below the lower limit, the waveform will take longer (more pixels) to move from
the bottom to the top of the reflected pulse. This smoothing effect might completely
hide some events that would normally only be one or two pixels wide on the display.
1. While in the Service Diagnostic Menu, select the Sampling Efficiency
Diagnostic and follow the directions shown on the display.
