Tektronix TDS5000B Series Verifythe Time Base

Brief Procedures
TDS5000B Series Specificationsand Performance Verification 2-9
HAveragemode displays an actively acquiring waveform on-screenwith
the noise reduced.
HEnvelope mode displaysan actively acquiring waveform on-screen with
the noise displayed.
HWMFDB Mode displays an activelyacquiring waveform on-screen with
noise. All channels will change to a red color.
8. Testall channels: Repeat steps 2 through 7 until all input channels are
verified.
9. Remove the test hookup:Disconnect the probe from the channel input and
the probe compensationoutput.
Equipment

3. Set up the oscilloscope: Push the front panel AUTOSET button.
4. Set the time base: Set the horizontal SCALE to 200 s/div.The time-base
readout is displayedat the bottom of the graticule.
5. Verifythat the time base operates: Confirm the following statements.
HOne period of the square-waveprobe-compensation signal is about five
horizontal divisions on-screenfor the 200 s/div horizontal scale setting.
