2 Testing Performance
Then after converting the values from the power meter to 
Vrms:
15 The result from step 14 should be between +3.0 dB and 
-3.0 dB. Record the result in the Performance Test Record 
(see  page 70).
16 Move the power splitter from the channel 1 to the channel 
2 input.
17 Turn off the current channel and turn on the next 
channel using the channel keys.
18 Repeat steps 3 through 17 for the remaining channels, 
setting the parameters of the channel being tested where 
appropriate.
To verify horizontal ∆t accuracy
The following test is optional because horizontal ∆t accuracy 
is a characteristic, not a specification.
This test verifies the horizontal ∆t accuracy. In this test, you 
will use the oscilloscope to measure the output of a time 
mark generator.
Test limits: ±0.0015% of reading ±0.1% of full scale ±20 ps 
(same channel)
response(dB) = 20 log

mV 211.2mV/ 210.4
mV 185.3 / mV 161.6
= -1.16 dB
