5.2.1 Test Records
The last pages of this chapter contain the WaveSurfer 400 series test records in the
format of tables. Keep them as masters and use a photocopy for each calibration.
5.3 Turn On
If you are not familiar with operating the WaveSurfer 400, refer to the operator's
manual.
Switch on the power using the power switch.
Wait for about 20 minutes for the scope to reach a stable operating
temperature:
To provide for quicker setup of the scope for each test, a CD containing panel
setups has been included with this manual. An external USB CD ROM drive will
need to be connected if you wish to use these. Detailed set up information is
contained in the text and the panel setups are not needed if a CD ROM drive is
not available.
