A calibration signal can be output from the Cal Out hook on the front of the oscilloscope. Choose one of
the following under Use Calibration Output For:
Square - sends a square wave signal. With this selection, also enter the wave Frequency and Amplitude
into 1 MΩ. The Set to 1 kHz, 1 V Square Wave button does exactly that.
DC Level - sends a reference level. Enter an Amplitude into 1 MΩ.
Off - disables calibration output.
Date/Time Settings
Date/Time settings control the oscilloscope's date and timestamp. These numbers appear in the

To access the Date/Time dialog, choose Utilities > Utilities Setup from the menu bar, then touch the
Date/Time tab or button.

Windows Method
To set date and time using the internal Windows system clock, touch the Windows Date/Time button.

these settings. If you are satisfied with the setup, just touch OK.
