Adjustment Procedures
This section contains adjustment procedures for the TDS2000C and
TDS1000C-EDU series oscilloscopes.
Only qualified personnel should perform service procedures. Read the Se rvice
Safety Summary and the General Safety Summary at the beginning of this
manual before performing any service procedures. Refer to the u ser manual for
information about using these oscilloscopes.
NOTE. The voltage references inside the oscilloscopes are very stable over time
and do not require routine updates. Do not perform any procedure in this section
unless the oscilloscope does not meet specifications. Refer to the Performance
Verification s ection to check the oscilloscope performance to specifications.
Required Equipment
The equipment described in the followi ng table, or a suitable e quivalent, is
required to complete these procedures. (See Table 14.)

Adjustment Procedure
The adjustment procedure consists of 70 steps for the 2-channel oscilloscope, and
106 steps for the 4-channel model. Each step requires an external voltage source
for n ew calibration constants.
Before performing the adjustment procedure, warm up the oscilloscope for at least
ten minutes in an ambient temperature between 20 °C and 30 °C. Adjustments
performed before warm up or outside this temperature range may result in poor
performance.
