SC300 Oscilloscope Calibration Option
Calibrate the Voltage Amplitude on an Oscilloscope

Shortcuts to Set the Voltage Amplitude
The
and
keys step the voltages through cardinal point values of an
oscilloscope in a 1-2-5 step sequence. For example, if the voltage is 40 mV, then
push
to increase the voltage to the nearest cardinal point, which is 50 mV. Push
to decrease the voltage to the nearest cardinal point, which is 20 mV.
Amplitude Calibration Procedure for an Oscilloscope
This example procedure tells you how to use the Volt menu to calibrate the amplitude
gain of the oscilloscope. When you calibrate the oscilloscope, it will be necessary to set
different voltages and verify that the gain matches the graticule lines on the oscilloscope
with reference to the specifications for your oscilloscope. See your oscilloscope manual
for the recommended calibration settings and correct gain values.
Before you start this procedure, verify that you are running the oscilloscope option in
Volt mode. If you are, the Control Display shows the subsequent menu, see below.

Do the subsequent sample procedure to calibrate the vertical gain.
1.
Connect the Calibrator to Channel 1 on the oscilloscope. Make sure the oscilloscope
is terminated at the correct impedance (1 M
Ω
for this example). Make sure that the
key on the 5502A is lit. This shows that the signal is connected.
2.
Key in the voltage level that is recommended for your oscilloscope. For example to
record 20 mV, push
, then push
. See “Keying in a
Value” in this chapter.
3.
Adjust the oscilloscope as necessary. The waveform must be similar to the one shown
below, with the gain set as specified for the calibration settings for your oscilloscope.
