BRIEF CHECKING PROCEDURE
AMPL and VAR functions (this test is skipped for channels where AMPL is a
toggle key):
-
Press the lower AMPL key and verify that the signal amplitude is 3 divisions.
The input sensitivity is 200mV/div.
-
Press the upper AMPL key twice and verify that the amplitude is bigger than
the screen height of 8 divisions. Use the POS control to shift the top and
bottom of the signal into the screen area.
-
Press both AMPL keys; this activates the VAR function. Now input sensitivity
can be adjusted in fine steps. The message ’VARIABLE ATTENUATION’ is
displayed briefly.
-
Press the lower AMPL key until a readout of 150 mV is reached.
-
Turn the POS control to position the waveform in the middle of the screen.
-
Check for a display as indicated in Fig. 3.5.
INV function:
-
The following check is only required for CH2 and CH4.
-
Press the INV key and check for a display as shown in Fig. 3.6.
AUTO RANGE function:
-
The AUTO RANGE function automatically selects the input sensitivity to the
best possible amplitude of an input signal.
-
Press the AUTOSET key. Verify that a stable signal is displayed.
-
Press the upper AMPL key and select 20.0 mV/div. The signal amplitude is
bigger now than the 8 divisions screen height.
-
Press the channel’s AUTO RANGE key and check that the input signal is
again visible with an amplitude between 2 and 6.4 divisions.
-
Press the lower AMPL key and select 2.00 V/div. The signal amplitude is very
small and it may be that the instrument is not triggered.
-
Press the channel’s AUTO RANGE key and check that the input signal is
again visible with an amplitude between 1.2 and 6.4 divisions.
