Appendix B: Performance Verification
The procedure in this appendix verifies that the TDS 340A, TDS 360, and
TDS 380 oscilloscopes meet warranted specifications. Depending on what you
want to accomplish, you may prefer to perform another procedure you can find
elsewhere in this manual.
H To rapidly confirm that this oscilloscope functions, just do the procedures
under Self Tests, which begin on page 1–5.
Advantages: This procedure is quick to do, requires no external equipment
or signal sources, and performs extensive functional and accuracy testing to
provide high confidence that the oscilloscope performs properly. You can use
it as a quick check before making a series of important measurements.
H To further check functionality, do the procedures under Functional Tests that
begin on page 1–7.
Advantages: These procedures require minimal additional time to perform,
require no additional equipment other than a standard-accessory probe, and
more completely test the internal hardware of this oscilloscope. You can use
them to quickly determine if the oscilloscope is suitable for putting into
service, such as when it is first received.
H If you need a more extensive confirmation of performance, do the Perfor-
mance Tests in this appendix, beginning on page B–5, after doing the
Functional and Self Tests just referenced.
Advantages: These procedures add direct checking of warranted specifica-
tions. They require more time and suitable test equipment. (See Equipment
Required on page B–3.)
