1. Check External Z-Axis Operation
a. Connect the leveled sine-wave generator output via a
50-!! cable and a T-connector to the CH 1 OR X input con
nector. Then connect a 50-Q cable and a 50-!! termination
from the T-connector to the EXT Z AXIS INPUT connector
on the rear panel.
b. Set the generator to produce a 5-V, 50-kHz signal.

c. CHECK— For noticeable intensity modulation. The
positive part of the sine wave should be of lower intensity
than the negative part.
d. Disconnect the test equipment from the instrument.

b. Connect the 10X Probe to the CH 1 OR X input con
nector and insert the probe tip into the PROBE ADJUST
jack on the instrument front panel. If necessary, adjust the
probe compensation for a flat-topped square-wave display.
c. CHECK— Display amplitude is 4.75 to 5.25 divisions.
d. Disconnect the probe from the instrument.
