Signal Path Compensation
Use this procedure if t he te mperature has changed more than 5° C since the last signal path compensation.
When making measurements at vertical scale settings less than or equal to 5 mV/div, perform the signal path
compensation once a week. Failure to do so may result in the instrument not meeting warranted performance
levels at those volts/div settings.
1. Prerequisites: instrument pow-
ered on for 20 minutes, and all in-
put signals removed.

2. Select Instrument Calibration.

the instrument serviced by quali-
fied service personnel.
