Performance Test Overview
The procedures are in three groupings: Signal Acquisition System Checks, Time
Base System Checks, and Triggering System Checks. They check all the
characteristics that appear in boldface type under Warranted Characteristics on
page A–1.
The tests in this subsection comprise an extensive, valid confirmation of
performance and functionality when the following requirements are met:
H The cabinet must be installed.
H You must have performed and passed the procedures under Self Tests, on
page 1–5 and those under Functional Tests, on page 1–7.
H The digitizing oscilloscope must have been operating for a warm-up period
of at least 20 minutes, and must be operating at an ambient temperature
between –10_ C and +55_ C.
Signal Acquisition System Checks
These procedures check signal acquisition system characteristics that are listed as
checked under Warranted Characteristics in the Specifications section.
WARNING. Performance of this procedure requires input voltages up to 98 VDC.
Contact with live circuits could cause injury or death. Be sure to set the DC
calibration generator to 0 volts before connecting, disconnecting, and/or moving
the test hookup during the performance of this procedure.
Equipment Required: One dual-banana connector (Item 3), one DC calibration
generator (Item 6), and one precision coaxial cable (Item 2).
Time Required: Approximately 35 minutes.
Prerequisites: The oscilloscope must meet the prerequisites listed on
page B–5.
Procedure:
1. Set the output of a DC calibration generator to 0 volts.
