this product. You may not need to perform all of these procedures, depending on
what you want to accomplish.
Self tests: Perform to quickly con
fi
rm that the instrument is operating
properly. These tests take little time and check the overall functionality of the
internal hardware of the instrument.
Performance tests: Perform to directly check warranted speci
fi
cations. These
tests require additional equipment and time to execute than the self tests.
NOTE.
The performance veri
fi
cation procedures are not calibration procedures.
The performance veri
fi
cation procedure only veri
fi
es that your instrument meets
key speci
fi
cations. For your instrument to be calibrated, it must be returned to a
Tektronix service facility.
