Each amplifier contains a large number of calconstant diagnostic routines that verify the accuracy of the last
amplifier calibration cycle. These tests do not test specific hardware. Instead, they examine the calibration
constants generated by the last calibration cycle, and apply mathematical models of an ideal amplifier signal
path to these calconstants to determine theoretically
if
the various operating parameters of the amplifier
signal path are such that the oscilloscope can accurately attain all its settings. These tests are strictly numeric
in nature, meaning that repeated (looping) execution of these tests is impractical.
