To use
Click “Always show SPC status icon (even when passing)” to always display the SPC icon in the status readout. The icon
resembles a thermometer.
NOTE. The SPC icon changes color to indicate when you need to run the SPC routine because the temperature of the
oscilloscope has changed by more than 5 °C since the last time the SPC routine was run.
Click “Display a warning when SPC has not been run in more than a month” so the oscilloscope displays a message when the
SPC routine is due to be run again.
1. Follow the set up instructions.
2. Click the Run SPC button to begin the procedure.
Behavior
The only user-accessible calibration is the signal path compensation (SPC). All other calibration is accessible to qualified service
personnel only. For all calibrations, the SPC Status control should indicate Pass or Compensated. If it does not, contact your
local Tektronix service personnel.
The oscilloscope displays the date of the last time the SPC routine was run beneath the SPC Status control.
What do you want to do next?
Follow a step-by-step signal path compensation procedure.
