This Performance Verification section is divided into two subsections, Brief
Performance Checks and Performance Tests.
The Brief Performance Checks section contains procedures to verify the
operation of the TAS 465 Analog Oscilloscope.
The Performance Tests section contains procedures to confirm the
performance of the TAS 465 Oscilloscope to its warranted specifications.
The Brief Performance Checks contain three procedures: Power On Self
Tests, Functional Tests, and Temperature Compensation Calibrations. Com
pleting these checks takes approximately one hour.
The Self Tests are performed each time the oscilloscope in powered on.
The Functional Tests use the probe compensation output on the front panel
as a test signal source for further verifying that the oscilloscope functions
properly. A standard accessory probe, included with this oscilloscope, is the
only equipment required.
To rapidly confirm that this oscilloscope functions and was adjusted proper
ly, perform the procedures in the Functional Tests section; which begin on
page 4 3.
Advantages: These procedures are quick to do, require no external equip
ment or signal sources, and provide high confidence that the oscilloscope
will perform properly. These also provide hands on experience to become
familiar with the controls and menus.
The Temperature Compensation Calibrations allow you to adjust the display
accuracy of the oscilloscope.
The Performance Tests confirm that the TAS 465 Oscilloscope performs as
specified. The Performance Tests begin on page 4 13. Completing these
tests takes approximately two hours and requires suitable test equipment.
(See Equipment Required on page 4 13.)
Advantages: These procedures add direct checking of warranted specifica
tions.
