Introduction
The SC300 Oscilloscope Calibration Option (the SC300 Option) has functions that help
you keep your oscilloscope’s accuracy by verifying and calibrating the subsequent
oscilloscope qualities:
•
Vertical deflection qualities are calibrated and verified. The VOLT function lets you
compare the voltage gain to the graticule lines on the oscilloscope.
•
Pulse transient response is examined and calibrated, verifying the accuracy of the
measurement of pulse transitions of the oscilloscope with the EDGE function.
•
Frequency response is examined by verifying the bandwidth with the leveled sine
wave (LEVSINE) function. Vertical deflection is monitored until the -3 dB point is
seen on the oscilloscope.
•
Horizontal (time base) deflection qualities are calibrated and verified with the time
MARKER function. This calibration procedure is like the one for verifying the
vertical deflection qualities, but it examines the horizontal axis.
•
The power to trigger on different waveforms is verified with the wave generator
function of the oscilloscope.
The menus that implement these functions also include parameters to change how the
output signal reacts to voltage, frequency, and time settings. This gives you control of the
signal at calibration, and gives more methods to see the properties of the signal.
