Calibrate the Pulse and Frequency Response on an
Oscilloscope
The pulse response is calibrated with a square-wave signal that has a fast leading edge
rise-time. With this signal, you adjust the oscilloscope as necessary until it is in
specification for rise time and pulse aberrations.
After pulse verification, the frequency response is verified with a leveled sine wave
applied and by a frequency indication at the -3 dB point, when the amplitude drops
approximately 30 %.

The Edge Function

The Edge function is used to calibrate the pulse response for your oscilloscope. To get to
the Edge menu, push the softkey below MODE until "edge" shows, see below.
10-14
The example below shows the gain at 20 mV to be 4 divisions, at 5 mV per division.

that the gain is correct with reference to the specifications in your manual.
