Performance  Check  Procedure
6.  A  and  B  M agnified   Tim ing  Accuracy and  Linearity
a.  Set time-mark generator for 20 ns time marks.
b.  Set:
Horizontal  MODE 
A SEC/DIV 
Horizontal  MODE 
B  SEC/DIV 
XI0  MAG 
CH  1  VOLTS/DIV
A
20 ns 
B
20  ns
On  (for 2  ns/div sweep speed) 
0.5V  (use 0.2 V for the 5 ns 
time  markers If necessary)
c.  Set the  Horizontal  POSITION  control to  12  o’clock,  and then  align the 
rising edge of the nearest time marker to the second vertical graticule 
line  (center the  display vertical).
NOTE
For  the  fastest sweep speeds,  where  the  time  marker peaks are 
rounded and not well defined,  greater resolution can be achieved 
by vertically centering  the  display and using  the point where  the 
rising  edge  of  the  time  marks  cross  the  center  horizontal 
graticule  line  as a  reference.
d.  CHECK—that  the  rising  edge  of  the  fourth  displayed  time  marker 
crosses  the  center  horizontal  graticule  line  at  between  8.27  divisions 
and  8.73  division from the  left-most graticule line.
e.  CHECK—that  the  spacing  of  the  time  markers  over  any  2.5  division 
interval within the center eight divisions does not deviate from the value 
measured  at  the  center  2.5  divisions  by  more  than  0.12  division.  Use 
the fifth vertical graticule  line  as a  starting point for the measurement 
at  the  center  2.5  divisions.  Exclude  the first  1/4  division  or 25  ns and 
any portion of the  sweep past the  100th magnified division.
f.  Set  SEC/DIV to  5  ns.
g.  Set the Horizontal  POSITION  control to  12  o’clock,  and then align the 
nearest time marker to the  second vertical  graticule  line.
h.  CHECK—that  the  tenth  displayed  time  marker  is  within  0.24  division 
(left  or right)  of the tenth  graticule  line.
j.  Repeat the timing and linearity checks for all SEC/DIV settings between 
10  ns  and  0.5  ms.  Use  the  SEC/DV  and  Time  Mark  Generator  X10 
MAG settings  given in Table 7-3.
