Aooendix B: Pcrformarxc Verification 
Performance Test Overview 
The proccdurcs arc in three groupings: Signal Acquisition System Checks, ?ime 
Bass System Checks, and Triggering System Checks. They check ah the 
characteristics that appear in boldface type und&Warranted Characteristics on 
page A-l. 
Prerequisites 
The tests in this subsection comprise an extensive, valid confrrnation of 
performance and functionality when the following requirements are met: 
The cabinet must bc installed. 
You must have performed and passed the procedures under Self Tests, on 
page l-5  and those under Functional Tests, on page 1-7. 
The digitizing oscilloscope must have been operating for a warm-up period 
of at least 20 minutes, and must bc operating at an ambient tcrnperature 
between -10”  C and +5S” C. 
Signal Acquisition  System  Checks 
These procedures check signal acquisition system characteristics that are listed as 
checked under Wurranted Characteris6ics in the Specifications 
sccl:ion.

WARNING. Pe~fom~ance of this procedure requires input voltages tip to 98 VUC. 
Contact with live circuits could cause injury or death. Be sure to set the DC 
calibration generator to 0 vah  bcforc connecting, disconnecting, and/or moving 
the test hookua durinz the oerformance ofchis orocedure. 
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.
