g. Test all channels: Repeat substeps a through f for all input channels.

3. Disconnect the hookup: No hookup was required.

WARNING. The generator is capable of outputting dangerous voltages. Be sure to

set the DC calibration generator to 0 volts before connecting, disconnecting,

and/or moving the test hookup during the performance of this procedure.

Equipment

required

Two dual-banana connectors (Item 6)

One BNC T connector (Item 7)

One DC calibration generator (Item 9)

Two precision 50 W coaxial cables (Item 5)

Prerequisites The oscilloscope must meet the prerequisites listed on page 1–15

See Input Channels vs. Model on page 1–2.
