TDS 500D, TDS 600C, TDS 700D & TDS 714L Performance Verification and Specifications
e. Verify that the channel acquires in all acquisition modes: Press SHIFT;
then press ACQUIRE MENU. Use the side menu to select, in turn, each
of the three hardware acquire modes and confirm that the following
statements are true. Refer to the icons at the left of each statement as you
confirm those statements.
H Sample mode displays an actively acquiring waveform on-screen.
(Note that there is noise present on the peaks of the square wave).
H Peak Detect mode displays an actively acquiring waveform
on-screen with the noise present in Sample mode “peak detected.”
H Hi Res mode (TDS 500D and 700D/L only) displays an actively
acquiring waveform on-screen with the noise that was present in
Sample mode reduced.
H Envelope mode displays an actively acquiring waveform on-screen
with the noise displayed.
H Average mode displays an actively acquiring waveform on-screen
with the noise reduced.
f. Test all channels: Repeat substeps a through e until all four input
channels are verified.
3. Remove the test hookup: Disconnect the probe from the channel input and
the probe-compensation terminals.
Equipment
required
One probe such as the P6243, P6245, P6249, P6139A
1
, or P6339A
Prerequisites None
1
P6139A probe is not appropriate for the TDS694C/794D oscilloscopes.
1. Install the test hookup and preset the oscilloscope controls:
a. Hook up the signal source: Install the probe on CH 1. Connect the probe
tip to PROBE COMPENSATION SIGNAL on the front panel;
connect the probe ground to PROBE COMPENSATION GND. See
Figure 1–3 on page 1–8.
b. Initialize the oscilloscope:
H Press save/recall SETUP.
H Press the main-menu button Recall Factory Setup; then press the
side-menu button OK Confirm Factory Init.
c. Modify default settings:
