d. Modify the initialized front-panel control settings:
H Press Autoset.
H Set the vertical SCALE to 100 mV.
H Set the horizontal SCALE to 100 ns. (If you use a reference
frequency other than 10 MHz, set the horizontal SCALE to display
5 to 7 cycles of the waveform.)
H Press SHIFT.ThenpressACQUIRE MENU.
H Press the main-menu button Mode. Then press the side-menu button
Hi Res.
H Press MEASURE.
H Press the main-menu button Hi-Low Setup. Then press the
side-menu button Min-Max.
H Press the main-menu button Select Measurement for Ch1.
H Repeatedly press the side-menu button -- m o r e -- until Pk-Pk appears
in the side menu. Press the side-menu button Pk-Pk.
H Press CLEAR MENU.
2. Confirm probe bandwidth:
a. Display and measure the test signal:
H Monitor the CH 1 Pk-Pk readout while you set the output of the
generator for a 600 mV (6 division), 10 MHz or less
reference signal.
H (TDS 420A Only) Set the horizontal SCALE to 2 ns and set the
frequency of the generator to 200 MHz.
H (TDS 430A and TDS 460A Only) Set the horizontal SCALE to1ns
and set the frequency of the generator to 400 MHz.
H Read the measurement results at the CH 1 Pk-Pk readout on screen.
b. Check against limits: CHECK that the CH 1 Pk-Pk readout is greater
than or equal to 420 mV.
3. Disconnect the hookup:
a. Unplug the probe from the BNC to probe tip adapter.
b. If substep 2b was passed, the probe adjustment is finished. Reverse the
instructions in Figure 5--4, page 5--13, to reinstall the retractable hook
probe tip.
