PERFORMANCE CHECKICALIBRATION 
PERFORMANCE CHECK 
Introduction 
This section is divided  into two parts: a Performance 
Check and a Calibration Procedure. Each part containsan 
index to aid in locating a particular step. The Equipment 
Required list applies to both sections, but the equipment 
required for calibration only is marked with a footnote. 
USING THE PROCEDURE 
Index 
To  aid  in  locating  steps,  an  index  precedes  the 
Performance Check procedure. 
Partial Procedure 
The  procedure  checks  completely  the  Performance 
Requirements.  If  you do  not  require  the  full  available 
performance from the instrument, the required instrument 
list may be shortened accordingly. 
A  partial  performance check  may  be desirable after 
replacing components or partial recalibration. To check a 
part of the instrument, refer to the Equipment Required list 
preceding that portion to be performed. 
Control Settings 
To aid in setting up a given  test, each 
314 
control or 
switch that  is named on the front, side, or rear panel is 
shown in the Control Settings in capital letters. Those 
314 
controls or switches that have an implied function, such as 
Source, Coupling, etc., have only the first letter capitaliz- 
ed. 
Control and switch settings of test equipment have the 
first letter capitalized. 
TEST 
EQUIPMENT 
REQUIRED 
The  test  equipment  required  listed  in Table 
5-1 
is 
required  for  complete  check  and  adjustment  of  this 
instrument. Test equipment specifications given in Table 
5-1 
are  the  minimum  required  to  meet  instrument 
specifications  listed  in  the  Specification  (Section 
1). 
Detailed operating instructions for test equipment are not 
included in this procedure. Refer to the Test  Equipment 
instruction manual if more information is needed. 
Special Calibration Fixtures 
Special calibration fixtures are  used only when they 
facilitate  instrument  calibration.  These  fixtures  are 
available from Tektronix, 
Inc. Order by part number from a 
Tektronix Field Office or representative. 
Calibration Equipment Alternatives 
Test  equipment listed  in the Examples of  Applicable 
Test Equipment column, Table 
5-1, 
is required toadjust or 
check the instrument. The procedures are based on the 
first item of equipment shown as an example. If equipment 
issubstituted, control settings or test setup may need to be 
altered. If the exact equipment item given as an example is 
not available, refer to the specifications column to deter- 
mine if other equipment may be substituted. 
Items in column 
1 
having a superscript 
1, 
are used only 
in the Adjustment procedure.
