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.)
