To set the calibration factors after replacing the acquisition board
The following procedure must be performed after replacing the acquisition board. This procedure
only needs to be performed once after the acquisition board is replaced.
Equipment Required
1
Perform self tests
a Exit the oscilloscope application.
b From a command prompt, run the oscilloscope software using the following syntax:
c:\scope\bin\agscope.exe -service
While the oscilloscope is warming up, run the self-test to ensure that the hardware is functioning
properly. To run the self-test:
c Pull down the Utilities menu and select Self Test.
d Select Scope Self Test from the Self Test list.
e Click on Start Self Test to start the self test procedure.
If any of the self-tests fail, ensure that the failure is diagnosed and repaired before
calibrating and testing performance.
2
Performance calibration.
After the warm up period, calibrate the oscilloscope.
a Connect the RS-232 cable to the Digital Multimeter RS-232 port and to the RS-232 port
on the oscilloscope.
b Set Digital Multimeter as follows:
Interface: RS-232
Baud Rate: 9600 Baud
Parity: None: 8 bits
Language: SCPI
Let the oscilloscope warm up before testing
The oscilloscope under test must be warmed up (with the oscilloscope application running) for at least
30 minutes prior to the start of any performance test.
