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 80 ms period, ±1 ppm accuracy, rise time
<50ns
Fluke 9500 Oscilloscope Calibrator with a
9510 Output Module
An appropr
iate BNC-to-0.1 inch pin
adapter between the Fluke 9500 and
P6516 probe
Digital Multimeter (DMM) 0.1% accuracy or better
One 50 Ω BNC cable
Male-to-male connectors Tektronix part number 012-0057-01
One BNC to 0.1 inch pin adapter Female BNC to 2x16 0.1 inch pin headers
Tektronix part number 679-6240-00
You may need additional cables and adapters, d epending on the actual test
equipm
ent you use.
These procedures cover all DPO4000 and MSO4000 models. Please disregard
check
s 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
the 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 Tektronix 4000 Series Service Manual.
Upgrade the Firmware
For the best functionality, you can upgrade the oscilloscope firmware. To upgrade
the firmware, follow these steps:
1. Open up a Web browser and g o to www.tektronix.com/software. Use the
Software and Firmware Finder to l ocate the most recent firmware upgrade.
2. Download the latest firmware for your oscilloscope onto your PC.
