8 Wait until the measurement settles.
9 Press the Y2 softkey, then position the Y2 cursor to the center of the voltage
trace using the Entry knob.
The Δ Y value on the lower line of the display should be within the test limits of
Table 11 or Table 12 (depending on the oscilloscope model).
If a result is not within the test limits, go to the “Troubleshooting” chapter. Then
return here.
10 Disconnect the precision source from the oscilloscope.
11 Repeat this procedure to check the dual cursor accuracy with the remaining
Volts/div setting values in Table 11 or Table 12 (depending on the oscilloscope
model).
12 Finally, repeat this procedure for the remaining channels to be tested.
Use a Blocking Capacitor to Reduce Noise
On the more sensitive ranges, such as 1 mV/div, 2 mV/div, and 5 mV/div, noise
may be a factor. To eliminate the noise, add a BNC Tee, blocking capacitor, and
shorting cap at the oscilloscope channel input to shunt the noise to ground. See
Figure 6 . If a BNC capacitor is not available, use an SMA blocking capacitor,
adapter, and cap. See “Blocking capacitor in the equipment list on page 20 for
details.
