Verifying the System Clock

This procedure is provided as a troubleshooting aid to verify that the 100 MHz System Clock oscillator is functioning properly. The 100 MHz oscillator is the primary time reference used for all of the acquisition clock periods. The test limits provided are the test limits for the 100 MHz oscillator only. If the readings are outside of the test limits, the oscilloscope module will not operate properly.
