Matching Channel 2 Delay
The apparent signal delay
in
Channel 2 may
be
adjusted up to ± 500 ps to
match the apparent
delay present
in
any of the other three channels. This
adjustment
is
most commonly used to eliminate delay differences between Channel
1 and Channel 2 that may
be
introduced by the probes. It has
no
effect on
common-mode rejection when ADD
Vertical Mode
is
selected. Match Channel 1
and
Channel 2
as
follows:
4-4
1.
Connect two 10X probes supplied with the instrument to the
CH

2.
Check
and
adjust, if necessary, the probe's low-frequency compensation.
Refer
to

adjustment
of
the delay matching is disabled, refer the adjustment to a qualified service
technician.

X1
0 MAG

the SEC/DIV switch. The adjustment
is
then permanently stored for

is
interrupted.
