ppendix B: Performance Verification
The procedure in this appendix verities that the ‘HIS 340, TDS 360, and
TDS 380 oscilloscopes meet warranted specifications. Dcpcnding on what you
want to accomplish, you may prefer to perform another procedure you can find
elsewhere in this manual.
.
To rapidly conCm th;lt this oscilloscope functions, just do the procedures
under Se~~.~ts, which begin on page l-5.
Advantages: This procedure is quick to do, requires no external equipment
or signal sources, and performs extensive functional and accuracy resting to
provide high confidence that the oscilloscope performs propefl,y. You can use
it as a quick check before making a series of important measurements.
To further check function&y, do the procedures under
Functional Tests
chat
begin on page l-7.
Advantages: Thcsc procedures require minimal additional time to perform,
require no additional equipment other than a
StandaId-aCCCSSOry
probe, and
more completely test the internal hardware of this oscilloscope. You can use
them to quickly determine if the oscilloscope is suitable for pulting into
service, such as when it is first received,
If you need a more extensive cotirmation of performance, do the
Per@r-
munch Tesrs in this appendix, beginning on page B-5, after doing the
Functional
and .%lfTestr just referenced.
Advantages: These procedures add direct checking of warranted specifica-
tions. They require mvre time and suitable test equipment. (See Equipmcnllt
Required on page B-3.)
