To calibrate the oscilloscope
Your Infiniium should be at optimum performance when performing mask
testing. If your Infiniium has not been calibrated in the last year or if the
Calibration ∆Temp is greater than ±5 °C, you should recalibrate the oscilloscope
before performing a mask test. You can find the Calibration ∆Temp in the
Calibration dialog box by clicking on the Utilities menu and selecting Calibration.
Use a High-Quality Cable
When calibrating the oscilloscope, use a short, high-quality BNC-to-BNC coaxial
cable, such as the 8120-1838 cable.
Make sure Infiniium has warmed up for at least 30 minutes.
