NOTE. Refer to the Sine Wave Generator Leveling Procedure on page 4--55 if
your sine wave generator does not have automatic output amplitude leveling.
c. Hook up the test-signal source:
H Connect the sine wave output of a sine wave generator to CH 1 (see
Figure 4--6). Set the output of the generator to a reference frequency
of 10 MHz or less.
H Set the horizontal SCALE to 50 ns. (If using a reference other than
10 MHz, adjust the horizontal SCALE todisplay4to6cyclesof
the waveform.)
2. Confirm the input channels are within limits for analog bandwidth: Do the
following substeps ā test CH 1 first, skipping substeps a and b since CH 1
is already set up for testing from step 1.
a. Select an unchecked channel:
H Press WAVEFORM OFF to remove the channel just confirmed
from display.
H Press the front-panel button that corresponds to the channel you are
to confirm.
H Move the leveled output of the sine wave generator to the channel
you select.
