Calibration Settings

To ensure the instrument maintains specified performance, it is factory set to perform a calibration
during warm-up. We recommend that you warm up the oscilloscope for at least 20 minutes prior to use to
give the instrument time to complete calibration procedures.

Manually calibrate the oscilloscope when:

l

It is used in temperatures that differ from the previous calibration temperature by more than 5° C.

OR

l

It has been more than one month since the previous calibration.

Go to Utilities > Calibration Setup.

The Calibration dialog shows the oscilloscope's calibration status and recommended actions.

There are two options for this calibration: Calibrate All or Calibrate Current Setting.

l

Calibrate All—All possible combinations of vertical and horizontal settings are calibrated at the cur-
rent temperature. This calibration is valid for the current temperature ± 5° C and takes about 50 min-
utes.

l

Calibrate Current Setting—The oscilloscope is calibrated at the current vertical and horizontal set-
ting. This calibration is valid for this setting for the current temperature ± 5° C and takes under 30
seconds.

CAUTION. It is required that all inputs be removed from the oscilloscope prior to performing
calibration.
