STOP. DO NOT use the vertical position knob to reposition any channel while
doing this check. To do so invalidates the test.
1. Install the test hookup and preset the instrument controls:
a. Initialize the front panel:

Set the horizontal SCALE to 500 ps.
Press SHIFT; then press ACQUIRE MENU.
Press the main-menu button Mode, and then press the side-menu
button Average 16.
c. Hook up the test-signal source:
Connect the sine wave output of a sine wave generator to a 50
precision coaxial cable followed by a 50
dual-input coupler. (If checking a TDS 794D, substitute a power
divider and two 50
dual-input coupler).
Connect the coupler to both CH 1 and CH 2. See Figure 1–10.
