1. Install the test hookup and preset the instrument controls:
a. Hook up the test-signal source:
Set the output of the DC calibration generator to 0 volts.
Connect the output of the DC calibration generator, through a
dual-banana connector followed by a 50
to one side of a BNC T connector.
Connect the Sense output of the generator, through a second
dual-banana connector followed by a 50
to other side of the BNC T connector. Now connect the BNC T
connector to CH 1.
b. Initialize the oscilloscope:
Press save/recall Setup.
Press the main-menu button Recall Factory Setup.
