Functional Check Oscilloscope

 Perform this quick functional check to verify that your instrument is operating correctly.

1)     Turn on the instrument. Wait until the display shows that all self tests passed. Push the SAVE/RECALL button, select Setups in the top menu box and push the Recall Factory menu box. The default Probe menu attenuation setting is 10X.

2)     Set the switch to 10X on the  probe and connect the probe to channel 1 on the oscilloscope. To do this, align the slot in probe connector with the key on the CH 1 BNC, push to connect and twist to right to lock the probe in place.  Attach the probe tip and reference lead to the PROBE COMP connectors.

Push the Autoset button. Within a few seconds, you should see a square wave in the display (approximately 5V at 1 kHz peak-to peak). Push the CH 1 MENU button twice to turn off channel 1, push the CH 2 MENU button to turn on channel 2, repeat steps 2 and 3.
