If the oscilloscope does not trigger in step 2e, change the trigger coupling to DC for this Vertical Scale setting.
e. Display the test signal: Do the following subparts to first display the
reference signal and then the test signal.
H Press MEASURE; then press the main-menu button Select
Measurement for CHx.
H Now press the side menu button more until the menu label Pk-Pk
appears in the side menu (its icon is shown at the left). Press the
side-menu button Pk-Pk.
H Press CLEAR MENU.
H Set the sine wave generator output (if necessary, use 10X attenua-
tors) so the CHx Pk-Pk readout equals the reference amplitude in
Table 4--3 (TDS 420A) or Table 4--4 (TDS 430A and TDS 460A)
that corresponds to the vertical scale set in substep d.
H Press the front-panel button SET LEVEL TO 50% as necessary to
trigger a stable display.
f. Measure the test signal:
H Increase the frequency of the generator output (leveled output) to the
test frequency in Table 4--3 (TDS 420A) or Table 4--4 (TDS 430A
and TDS 460A) that corresponds to the vertical scale set in
substep d.
H Set the horizontal SCALE to 5 ns (TDS 420A) or 2 ns (TDS 430A
and TDS 460A).
H Press SET LEVEL TO 50% as necessary to trigger the display.
