3. Confirm CH 3 (AUX 1 on some TDS models) output is within limits for gain:
a. Measure gain:
HMove the precision 50 W cable from the rear-panel DELAYED
TRIGGER OUTPUT BNC to the rear-panel CH 3/AUX 1 BNC
(SIGNAL OUT on some models).
HPush TRIGGER MENU.
HPress the main-menu button Source.
HPress the side-menu button Ch3.
(Ax1 on some TDS models)
HSet vertical SCALE to 100 mV.
HPress SET LEVEL TO 50%.
HPress MEASURE; then press the main-menu button Select
Measrmnt for Ch2.
HRepeatedly press the side-menu button โ€“moreโ€“ until Pk-Pk appears
in the side menu (its icon is shown at the left). Press the side-menu
button Pk-Pk.
HPress CLEAR MENU.
b. Check against limits: (Skip the first four subparts of this substep for the
TDS 794D only.)
HCHECK that the readout Ch2 Pk-Pk is between 80 mV and 120 mV,
inclusive, for the TDS 600B or is between 88 mV and 132 mV,
inclusive, for the TDS 500D/700D.
HEnter voltage on test record.
HPress VERTICAL MENU; then press the side-menu button ๎€ to
toggle to the 50 W setting.
HPress CLEAR MENU.
HCHECK that the readout Ch2 Pk-Pk is between 40 mV and 60 mV,
inclusive, for the TDS 600B or is between 44 mV and 66 mV,
inclusive, for the TDS 500D/700D.
HEnter voltage on test record.
4. Disconnect the hookup: Disconnect the cables from the channel inputs and
the rear panel outputs.
