Functional Tests
The purpose of these procedures is to confirm that the oscilloscope functions
properly. The only equipment required is a P7240 probe, a probe calibration and
deskew fixture, a BNC cable, BNC-to-SMA adapter or TCA-BNC adapter, and,
to check the file system, a 3.5 inch, 1.44 Mbyte, formatted floppy disk.
STOP
. These procedures verify functions that the oscilloscope features operate.
They do not verify that they operate within limits.
Therefore, when the instructions in the functional tests that follow call for you to
verify that a signal appears on the screen “that is about five divisions in
amplitude” or “has a period of about six horizontal divisions,” etc., do NOT
interpret the quantities given as limits. Operation within limits is checked in
Performance Tests
, which begin on page 4--17.
