Adjustment Procedures
This section contains adjustment procedures for the TBS1000 series oscilloscopes.
Only qu alified personnel should perform service procedures. Read the Service
Safety Summary and the General Safety Summary at the beginning of this
manual before performing any service procedures. Refer to the u ser m anual for
information about using these oscilloscopes.
NOTE. The voltage references inside the oscilloscopes are very stable over time
and do not r
equire ro utine updates. Do not perform any procedure in this section
unless the oscilloscope does not meet specifications. Refer to the Performance
Verification section to check the oscilloscope performance to specifications.

Adjustment Procedure
The a djustment procedure consists of 70 steps for the 2-channel oscilloscope and
106 steps for the 4-channel model. Each step requires an external voltage source
for new calibration constants.
Before performing the adjustment procedure, warm up the oscilloscope for at least
ten minutes in an ambient temperature between 20 °C and 30 °C. Adjustm ents
performed before warm up or outside this temperature range may result in poor
performance.
