Functional Tests
The purpose of these procedures is to confirm that the oscilloscope functions
properly. The only equipment required is a BNC cable and, to check the file
system, a 3.5 inch, 720 K or 1.44 Mbyte, formatted floppy disk.
STOP
. These procedures verify functions; that is, they verify 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-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
