11.2 Self Calibration
The self-calibration program lets the oscilloscope provide its most precise measurement values.
You can perform self-calibration at any time. A self-calibration is recommended when ambient
temperature has changed 5 °C or more. Make sure that the oscilloscope has been turned on for
more than 30 minutes before performing the self-calibration. It will take approximately 5 minutes
for the self-calibration to complete.
1. Remove all connections from all input channels.
