4. Turn the rotary knob to change the value.
5. Push  to remove the cursor from the Output Display and save the new value
If you attempt to use the rotary knob to adjust a value to an amount that is
invalid for the function you will use, or is outside the value's range limits,
the value will not change and the 5502A will beep. If you need to reach a
different range of values, turn the knob quickly to jump to the new range.
Use  and 
The  and  keys cause the current value of the signal to jump to a predetermined
cardinal value, whose amount is determined by the current function. These keys are given
in more detail under the descriptions for each function.

Reset the Oscilloscope Option

You can reset all parameters in the 5502A to their default settings during front-panel
operations. Push the  key on the front panel.
After resetting the 5502A, push  to return to the Oscilloscope Calibration Option
(the Volt menu shows). Push  to connect the signal output.

Calibrate the Voltage Amplitude on an Oscilloscope

The oscilloscope voltage (vertical) gain is calibrated by applying a dc or low frequency
square wave signal and adjusting its gain to meet the height specified for different voltage
levels, designated by the graticule line divisions on the oscilloscope. The signal is applied
from the 5502A in Volt mode. The specific voltages that you should use for calibration,
and the graticule line divisions that need to be matched, vary for different oscilloscopes.
See your oscilloscope's service manual.

The Volt Function

The Voltage gain is calibrated with the Volt function. This function is accessed through
the Volt menu, which shows when you start the SCOPE option, or when you push the
softkey below MODE to scroll through the oscilloscope calibration menus, see below.
9-10
When you use the rotary knob in Volt mode or Marker mode, the Control Display
shows the new value's percent change from the reference value. This is useful for
determining the percentage of error on the oscilloscope. You can set the reference
value to the new value with , see below.
as the reference value.
