Adjustment Procedures
This chapter contains the factory adjustment procedures for the TDS 3000B series
oscilloscopes. Only qualified personnel should perform adjustment procedures.
Read the Service Safety Summary and the General Safety Summary before
performing any service procedures. Also refer to the chapter Operating
Information for information about using t he oscilloscope.
NOTE. The voltage references inside the oscilloscope are very stable over time
and should not require routine adjustment. Before performing any procedure in
this chapter, do the Performance Verification procedures (Section 4) to check
whether or not the oscilloscope meets specifications.
Successful completion of this adjustment procedure automatically updates the
instrument Calibration Due date and time. Successful completion of the
Performance Verification procedure in Section 4 does not update the instrument
Calibration Due date and time.
