2 Testing Performance
oscilloscope to set the threshold test settings as shown in 
Table 5. 
8 Do the following steps for each of the threshold voltage levels 
shown in Table 5.
a Set the threshold voltage shown in the User softkey using 
the Entry knob on the oscilloscope.
b Enter the corresponding DC offset voltage on the 
oscilloscope calibrator front panel. Then use the 
multimeter to verify the voltage.
Digital channel activity indicators are displayed on the 
status line at the top of the oscilloscope display. The 
activity indicators for D7-D0 should show all of the 
channels at digital high levels.
c Use the knob on the oscilloscope calibrator to decrease the 
offset voltage, in increments of 10 mV, until the activity 
indicators for digital channels D7-D0 are all at digital low 
levels. Record the oscilloscope calibrator voltage in the 
Performance Test Record (see page 57).
d Use the knob on the oscilloscope calibrator to increase the 
offset voltage, in increments of 10 mV, until the activity 
indicators for digital channels D7-D0 are all at digital high 
levels. Record the oscilloscope calibrator voltage in the 
Performance Test Record (see page 57).
