Check DC Gain Accuracy
This test check
s the DC gain accuracy.
1. Connect the oscilloscope to a D C voltage source. If using the Wavetek 9500
calibrator, c
onnect the calibrator head to the oscilloscope channel to test.
2. Push the front-panel Default Setup button to set the instrument to the factory
default settings.
3. Push the channel button (1,2,3,4) for the channel that you want to check.
4. Confirm that the oscilloscope and calibrator impedances are both set to 50 Ω.
Push the Impedance lower-bezel button to select 50 Ω.
5. Push the lower-bezel Bandwidth button.
6. Push the 20 MHz side-bezel button to select the bandwidth.
7. Push the front-panel Acquire button.
8. Push the Mode lower-bezel button, and push the Average side bezel button.
The default number of averages is 16.
