Amplitude Accuracy - Tektronix P5200 Instruction Manual

Performance Verification

Amplitude Accuracy

1. Set the volts/division on channel 2 of the oscilloscope to 2 V.
2. Set the volts/division on channel 1 of the oscilloscope to 20 mV.
3. Set the seconds/div to 200 µs and the acquisition mode to
average 32.
4. Connect the coaxial cable from SIG OUT of the generator (rear of
Wavetek 9100) to channel 1 of the oscilloscope.
5. Set the generator to 0.1 V and 1 kHz (AUX, square wave, 1 MΩ
load). Enable the output.
6. Select the amplitude measurement on the oscilloscope and record
the DC amplitude (~100 mV) of square wave. This measurement
is the just oscilloscope.
7. Disable the generator output. Disconnect the coaxial cable from
channel 1 of the oscilloscope and SIG OUT of the generator.
8. Connect the output of the probe to channel 1 of the oscilloscope.
9. Attach the Modified BNC adapter to the SIG OUT of the generator.
10. Attach the differential probe input leads (without attachment
accessories) by sliding the banana plug of the leads onto the binding
posts of the Modified BNC adapter. (See Figure 7.)

Trigger on channel 2.
Select 1 MΩ impedance (if option exists on oscilloscope).
Connect coaxial cable between TRIG OUT of the generator
(rear of Wavetek 9100) and channel 2 of the oscilloscope.
