h. Check CH 1 to CH 2 and CH 3 to CH 4 against limit:
H Press WAVEFORM OFF four times to remove all waveforms.
H Press CH 1.
H Press MORE; then press the main-menu button Ref 2.
H Measure the delay between CH 1 and Ref 2 using the method
described in substep f above.
H CHECK that the cursor readout on screen is ≤200 ps.
H If you are testing a TDS 430A, skip to step 3.
H Press WAVEFORM OFF twice to turn off CH 1 and Ref 2; then
press CH 4 to turn on CH 4.
H Press MORE; then press the main-menu button Ref 3 to display the
CH3waveformstoredinRef3.
H Measure the delay between Ref 3 and CH 4 using the method
described in substep f above.
H CHECK that the cursor readout on screen is ≤200 ps.
