Calibration Settings
To ensure the instrument maintains specified performance, it is factory set to perform a calibration during warm-up. We
recommend that you warm up the oscilloscope for at least 20 minutes prior to use to give the instrument time to
complete calibration procedures.
Manually calibrate the oscilloscope when:
l
It is used in temperatures that differ from the previous calibration temperature by more than 5° C.
OR
l
It has been more than one month since the previous calibration.
Go to
Utilities > Calibration Setup
.
The Calibration dialog shows the oscilloscope's calibration status and recommended actions.
There are two options for this calibration: Calibrate All or Calibrate Current Setting.
l
Calibrate All
—All possible combinations of vertical and horizontal settings are calibrated at the current
temperature. This calibration is valid for the current temperature ± 5° C and takes about 120 minutes.
l
Calibrate Current Setting
—The oscilloscope is calibrated at the current vertical and horizontal setting. This
calibration is valid for this setting for the current temperature ± 5° C and takes under 30 seconds.
CAUTION.
It is required that all inputs be removed from the oscilloscope prior to performing calibration.
