Adjustment procedures
This chapter contains information about instrument adjustment.
Adjustment
Adjustment and calibration can be performed only by a Tektronix Service Center. See Contacting Tektronix, following the title page in this
manual, for information on contacting Tektronix Service Support.
Adjustment interval
The voltage and timing references inside the instrument are very stable over time and do not need routine adjustment.
If the instrument fails the performance tests in the Specifications and Performance Verification manual, adjustment may be required. To
download the 3 Series MDO Specification and Performance Verification manual (Tektronix part number 077-1499-XX), go to
, enter the model number, click GO, and then select the Specification and Performance Verification document
to download.
If your organization requires periodic calibration, a general rule is to verify performance and make adjustments (only if needed) every
2000 hours of operation or once a year if the instrument is used infrequently.
Adjustment after repair
After removal and replacement of any module, you must perform the Performance Verification procedures, found in the Specifications and
Performance Verification manual (Tektronix part number 077-1499-XX), available to download from the Tektronix web site (www.tek.com/
product-support).
If the instrument fails any Performance Verification tests, it must be returned to a Tektronix Service Center for adjustment and calibration.
