Performance Tests
1–34 TDS 500C, TDS 600B & TDS 700C Performance Verification and Specifications
NOTE. Refer to the Sine Wave Generator Leveling Procedure on page 1–84 if
your sine wave generator does not have automatic output amplitude leveling.
c. Hook up the test-signal source: Connect the sine wave output of a
leveled sine wave generator to CH 1. Set the output of the generator to a
reference frequency of 10 MHz or less. See Figure 1–7. For the optional
setup using a leveled sine wave generator with a leveling head (item 26)
see Figure 1–8 and, if using this optional setup with the example
Tektronix SG 504, set the generator output to 6 MHz.

2. Confirm the input channels are within limits for analog bandwidth: Do the
following substeps — test CH 1 first, skipping substeps a and b since CH 1
is already set up for testing from step 1.
a. Select an unchecked channel:
HPress WAVEFORM OFF to remove the channel just confirmed
from display.
