To check the amount of dc un balance, a suggested procedure is as follows: The Type TU-7 is calibrated and ready for use as shipped from the factory. 1. Set the TEST FUNCTION switch to COMMON MODE.
Page 8
2. Set both Time/Cm switches to .5 mSec. 3. Set both Triggering Mode switches to Auto, and both Triggering Source switches to Plug-In. 4. Set the Type TU-7 TEST FUNCTION switch to ALTER NATE. 5. Apply a 100-volt peak-fo-peak Calibrator signal to the INPUT connector.
