2. Confirm input channels are within limits for DC accuracy at maximum offset,
position, and termination voltage: Do the following substeps - test Ch 1 first,
skipping substep 2.a of this step since Ch 1 is already selected from step 1.
a. Select an unchecked channel:
■
From the button bar, touch Measure and then Clear All to remove
the previous measurement.
■
Press the Vertical button of the channel just confirmed to remove the
channel from the display.
■
Press the front-panel Vertical button that corresponds to the channel
you are to confirm.
■
Set the generator output to 0 V.
■
Move the test hookup to the channel you selected.
b. Turn on the measurement Mean for the channel:
■
From the button bar, touch Measure and select the Ampl tab, More,
and then touch Mean to measure the mean of the current channel.
■
Press the X (Close) button.
NOTE. If any of the voltages supplied by your generator are not
calibrated, verify those generator voltages using a digital multimeter,
item 27.
c. Set the vertical scale: Set the vertical Scale to one of the settings listed in
the following table that is not yet checked, starting with the first setting
listed.
