Test Preparations
Before the test, make the following preparations.
1. Self-test
2. Warm-up (make sure that the instrument has been running for at least 30 minutes)
3. Self-calibration
Self-test
After the instrument is connected to the power source, press the power key at the
lower-left corner of the front panel to power on the instrument. You can also click or
tap
> Utility > Setup. Then select "Switch On" for the Power status menu. After
the instrument is connected to power source, it will start directly.
During the start-up process, the instrument performs a series of self-tests. After the
self-test, the splash screen is displayed.
If the oscilloscope cannot start normally, refer to "Troubleshooting" section in
DS70000 User Guide to locate the problem and resolve it. Do not perform self-
calibration or performance tests until the instrument passes the self-test.
Self-calibration
The self-calibration program can quickly make the oscilloscope to work in an optimal
state to get the precise measurement results. You can perform self-calibration at any
time, especially when the changes of the ambient temperature reach or above 5℃.
Make sure that the oscilloscope has been warmed up or operating for more than 30
minutes before the self-calibration.
1. Disconnect all the input channels.
2. In "Utility" menu, click or tap SelfCal, the following self-calibration interface is
shown below.
