Performance Verification
This chapter contains performance verification procedures for the specifications
marked with the
symbol. The following equipment, or a suitable equivalent, is
required to c
omplete these procedures.
Description Minimum requirements Examples
DC voltage source 3 mV to 4 V, ±0.1% accuracy
Leveled sin
e wave generator
50 kHz to 1000 MHz, ±4% amplitude
accuracy
Time mark generator 1 ms period, ±1 ppm accuracy, rise time
<25ns
Fluke 9500 Oscilloscope Calibrator with a
9510 Output Module
One 50 Ω BNC cable
Male-to-male connectors Tektronix part number 012-0057-01
One 50 Ω feedthrough termination BNC male and BNC female connectors
Tektronix part number 011-0049-02
For MSO2000 Series only:
One P6316 digital probe
16 channel digital probe Tektronix P6316
One BNC-to-0.1 inch pin adapter BNC to 0.1 inch spaced pins An appropriate BNC-to-0.1 inch pin
adapt
er for use between the Fluke 9500
and the P6316 probe
You may need additional cables and adapters, depending on the actual test
equipment you use.
These procedures cover all DPO2000 and MSO2000 models. Please disregard
checks that do not apply to the specific model you are testing.
Print the test record, on the following pages, and use it to record the performance
test results for your oscilloscope.
NOTE. Completion of the performance verification procedure does not update
t
he stored time and date of the latest successful adjustment. The date and time
are updated only when the adjustment procedures in the service manual are
successfully completed.
The performance verification procedures verify the performance of your
instrument. They do not adjust your instrument. If your instrument fails any of
the performance verification tests, you should perform the factory adjustment
procedures as described in the DPO2000 and MSO2000 Series Service Manual.
NOTE. If your oscilloscope firmware version is v1.02, it should be updated
before performing the Performance Verification procedures. Download the latest
firmware from www.tek tronix.com/software.
