Adjustment procedures
This chapter contains information about instrument adjustment.
Adjustment
Adjustment and calibration can be performed only by a Tektronix Service Center. See Contacting Tektronix, following the
title page in this manual, for information on contacting Tektronix Service Support.
Adjustment interval
The voltage and timing references inside the instrument are very stable over time and do not need routine adjustment.
If the instrument fails the performance tests in the Specifications and Performance Verification manual, adjustment may be
required. To download the 6 Series MSO Specification and Performance Verification manual (Tektronix part number
077-1461-XX), go to http://www.tek.com/product-support, enter the manual part number (with no dashes) in the field, click
GO, and then select the Specification and Performance Verification document to download.
If your organization requires periodic calibration, a general rule is to verify performance and make adjustments (only if
needed) every 2000 hours of operation or once a year if the instrument is used infrequently.
Adjustment after repair
After removal and replacement of any module, you must perform the Performance Verification procedures, found in the
Specifications and Performance Verification manual (Tektronix part number 077-1461-XX), available to download from the
Tektronix web site (www.tek.com/product-support).
If the instrument fails any Performance Verification tests, it must be returned to a Tektronix Service Center for adjustment
and calibration.
