To verify voltage measurement accuracy

To verify voltage measurement accuracy

This test verifies the voltage measurement accuracy. In this test, you will measure the output of a power supply using dual cursors on the oscilloscope, and compare the results with the multimeter reading.

Test limits: ±2.0% of full scale ±1 LSB*

Full scale is defined as 16 mV on the 1 mV/div range.

Full scale on all other ranges is defined as 8 divisions times the V/div setting.

*1 LSB = 0.4% of full scale
