To test offset accuracy
This test checks the vertical offset accuracy.
Specification:
±
(1.00% of channel 1% of full scale) at full-resolution channel scale
Equipment Required
Procedure
1
Connect the equipment.
The cabling is the same as that used for the voltage measurement accuracy test. See figure 3-4.
a
Use a BNC-to-banana adapter to connect a BNC cable to the power supply.
b
Connect a BNC tee to the other end of the cable and connect the tee to channel 1 of the
oscilloscope.
c
Connect another BNC cable to the tee at the oscilloscope and connect a BNC tee to the
other end of the cable.
d
Connect the blocking capacitor to the BNC tee and connect the BNC short to the blocking
capacitor.
e
Connect a BNC-to-banana adapter to the same BNC tee and connect the adapter to the
DVM input.
2
Press Default Setup to set the oscilloscope to default conditions.
3
Select Acquisition from the Setup menu.
4
Select Equivalent Time under Sampling Mode. Enable Averaging, and set the # Points
for averaging to 32. Click Close.
Setup is the same as that for the voltage measurement accuracy test. See figure 3-5.
5
Use the following table for steps 6 through 12.
6
Select Channel 1 from the Setup menu.
7
Set the vertical Scale to the Volts/div value from the first row of the table. Set the Offset
to the Position value from the first row of the table. Click Close.
