TDS6000B Series Specifications and Performance Verification Technical Reference
The Self Tests use internal routines to confirm basic functionality and proper
adjustment. No test equipment is required to do these test procedures.
The Functional Tests utilize the probe-compensation output at the front panel as
a test-signal source for further verifying that the oscilloscope functions properly.
A BNC cable and a BNC-to-SMA adaptor or a TCA-SMA adapter are required
to do these test procedures.
This procedure uses internal routines to verify that the oscilloscope functions and
was adjusted properly. No test equipment or hookups are required.
