Characteristics Confirmation Procedure
1. Load the TP7DELAY.PDA test pattern file from the performance check
disk.
2. Press the following keys in the order shown. In the present state the CH8
through CH11 delay settings will all be 0.0 ns.

3. Press the START/STOP button on the front panel so that the button’s LED
indicator lights.
4. Observe the two clock pulses on the oscilloscope, and read off the CH8
delay value referenced to CH0 with the timing measured between points with
voltages of 50 % of the peak value. Confirm that the values measured with
the oscilloscope for the delay settings in Table B-8 fall within the delay span
ranges in the table below.
Table BĆ8: Delayprecision
Settings Delayspan range
0.0 ns -0.80 ns to 0.80 ns
2.0 ns 1.14 ns to 2.86 ns
5.0 ns 4.05 ns to 5.95 ns
10.0 ns 8.90 ns to 11.10 ns
20.0 ns 18.60 ns to 21.40 ns
5. Move the pin header cable connected to the P3420 CH8 to channels CH9
through CH11 in turn, and repeat step 3 to confirm the delay values.
