TDS 500C, TDS 600B & TDS 700C Performance Verification and Specifications 1–87
4. Set the generator to the new frequency and reference level:
HChange the sine wave generator to the desired new frequency.
HInput the correction factor for the new frequency into the level meter.
HAdjust the sine wave generator amplitude until the level meter again
reads the value noted in step 3. The signal amplitude is now correctly set
for the new frequency.
HDisconnect the sine wave generator from the power sensor.
HConnect the sine wave generator to the digitizing oscilloscope.
Optical Filters Checks (TDS 500C/TDS 700C Only)The procedure that follows verifies that the frequency response of the combined
P670xB and TDS500C/700C oscilloscope system is a Fourth Order Bessel
Thompson Filter which is within limits.
Nominal Filters are available with Option 2C. Reference Receiver Filters are
available with Options 3C and 4C (3C and 4C are not available without 2C).
Table 1–6 lists the available vertical scale factors for each option. Tables 1–7,
1–8, and 1–9 list the available filters and their specifications.
