4 Press the Quick Meas softkey, set the Source softkey to 1, then 
press Select and choose Period. Press the Measure softkey and 
measure the following:
Period 100 µs — The test limits are 99.8 µs to 100.2 µs. 
If the measurements are not within the test limits, go to the 
“Troubleshooting” chapter. Then return here.
5 Change the calibrator to 100 ns markers. Change the time 
base to 20 ns/div. Adjust the trigger level to obtain a stable 
display. 
6 Measure the following. If the measurements are not within 
the test limits, go to the “Troubleshooting” chapter. Then 
return here.
Period 100 ns— The test limits are 99.8 ns to 100.2 ns.
7 Change the time base to 2 ns/div and the calibrator to 5 ns 
markers.
8 Measure the following. If the measurement is not within the 
test limits, go to the “Troubleshooting” chapter. Then return 
here.
Period 5 ns — The test limits are 4.96 ns to 5.04 ns. 
To verify trigger sensitivity
This test verifies the trigger sensitivity. In this test, you will 
apply a sine wave to the oscilloscope at the upper bandwidth 
limit. You will then decrease the amplitude of the signal to the 
specified levels, and check to see if the oscilloscope is still 
triggered.
