4. For each VOLTS/DIV setting listed below, perform the following steps:
a. Set the DC voltage source output level to the positive voltage listed and
then record the mean measurement as V
pos
.
b. Reverse the polarity of the DC voltage source and then record the mean
measurement as V
neg
.
c. Calculate V

5mV/div +17.5 mV, --17.5 mV 33.6 mV to 36.4 mV
200 mV/div +700 mV, --700 mV 1.358 V to 1.442 V
2V/div +7.00 V, -- 7.00 V 13.58 V to 14.42 V
5. Set DC voltage source output level to 0V.
6. Disconnect the test setup.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 until all input channels have been checked.
