Performance Verification
Two types of Performance Verification procedures can be performed on this
product: Brief Pr ocedures and Performance Tests. You may not need to perform
all of these procedures, depending on what you want to accomplish.
H To rapidly confirm that the oscilloscope functions and was adjusted properly,
just do the brief procedures under Self Tests, which begin on page 4--5.
Advantages: These procedures are quick to do, require no external
equipment or signal sources, and perform extensive functional and accuracy
testing to provide high confidence that the oscilloscope will perform
properly. They can be used as a quick check before making a series of
important measurements.
H To further check functionality, first do the Self Tests just mentioned; then do
the brief procedures under Functional Tests that begin on page 4--6.
Advantages: These procedures require minimal additional time to perform,
require no additional equipment other than a BNC cable, and more complete-
ly test the internal hardware of the oscilloscope. They can be used to quickly
determine if the oscilloscope is suitable for putting into service, such as
when it is first received.
H If more extensive confirmation of performance is desired, do the Perform-
ance Tests — Semi-Automated Method, beginning on page 4--17, after doing
the Functional and Self Tests mentioned above.
Advantages: These procedures add direct checking of the warranted
specifications that are marked with the n symbol. These procedures are
fairly quick to execute but require specific test equipment. (See Table 4--1:
Required equipment and materials on page 4--17).
