18) Now that everything has been soldered, finish checking that the lock nuts and jack nuts are snug. Once you have confirmed that,
power up the TRACE module and we will complete our final test. Start by patching a cable between the AWG output and the CH1 input. You
should see a waveform appear on the top trace. Next move the patch cable from CH1 to CH2 and you should see a waveform appear on the
bottom trace. You may need to use buttons K2 and K3 to zoom in on the time axis so that you can see the waveforms clearly.

     

19) Don't forget to download the manual for the Xprotolab oscilloscope module from Gabotronics website:

http://www.gabotronics.com/download/xscopes/xscopes-manual.pdf

20) That is it! Job well done, Udarnik! Enjoy the fruit of your labors - get patching!
