8-19. The Output Signal

The following description assumes that you have selected VOLT mode from the SCOPE
menu. The Control Displays appears as follows with VOLT mode selected:
The location of the output signal is indicated on the Control Display (the display on the
right side). If your Calibrator is connected, but the output does not appear on the
oscilloscope, you may have the Calibrator in standby mode. The settings for the output
signal are indicated in the Output Display (the display on the left side).
If STBY is displayed, press the
output should appear on the oscilloscope.

8-20. Adjusting the Output Signal

The Calibrator provides several ways to change the settings for the output signal during
calibration. Since oscilloscope calibration requires many adjustments of the output
signal, the three available methods for changing these settings for oscilloscope
calibration are summarized below. These methods provide the means of jumping to a
new value or sweeping through a range of values.
