The procedure that follows checks those characteristics of the output signals that
are listed as checked under Warranted Characteristics in Specifications. The
oscilloscope outputs these signals at its front and rear panels.
Equipment Two precision 50
required
One calibration generator (Item 10)
Prerequisites See page 1–15. Also, the oscilloscope must have passed Check DC
Voltage Measurement Accuracy on page 1–32.
See Input Channels vs. Model on page 1–2.
