H Press VERTICAL MENU.
H Press the main-menu button Bandwidth. Then press the side-menu
button 20 MHz.
H Press CLEAR MENU to remove the vertical menu from the screen.
2. Verify that the time base operates: Confirm the following statements.
a. One period of the square-wave probe-compensation signal is about five
horizontal divisions on-screen for the 200 s horizontal scale setting (set
in step 1c).
b. Rotating the horizontal SCALE knob clockwise expands the waveform
on-screen (more horizontal divisions per waveform period), counter-
clockwise rotation contracts it, and returning the horizontal scale to
200 s returns the period to about five divisions.
c. The horizontal POSITION knob positions the signal left and right on
screen when rotated.
3. Remove the test hookup: Disconnect the probe from the channel input and
the probe-adjust terminal.
