TDS3000B Initial Setup
The following procedures describe how to quickly verify
that the oscilloscope is powering up and functioning
correctly, compensate passive probes using the built-in
compensation signal, and run the signal path compensa-
tion (SPC) routine for maximum signal accuracy.
H You should perform all initial setup procedures the
first time you use the oscilloscope.
H You should perform the probe compensation
procedure whenever you attach a passive probe for
the first time to any input channel.
H You should run the signal path compensation routine
whenever the ambient temperature changes by 10_ C
or more.
Functional Check
1. Connect the oscilloscope power cable
2. Turn on the oscilloscope. Wait
for the confirmation that the
oscilloscope has passed all
self-tests.
