3 PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS:
3.1 Review and become familiar with the entire procedure before beginning the Calibration Process.
WARNING
Unless otherwise designated, and prior to beginning the Calibration Process, ensure that all test equipment voltage and/or current outputs are set to zero (0) or turned off, where applicable. Ensure that all equipment switches are set to the proper position before making connections or applying power. If not strictly observed, could result in injury to, or death of, personnel or long term health hazards.
3.2 Connect the test equipment to the appropriate power source. Set POWER switch to ON and allow a warm-up period as required by the manufacturer.
3.3 Connect the TI to the appropriate power source. Press the TI switch and allow a 20 minute warm-up peri od .
3.4 Throughout the Calibration Process, the TI front panel push-buttons and knobs appear in bold, the touch screen menu selections in bold italicized, and the icon and function softkeys in italicized font.
3.5 Press TI Touch Screen to enable the touch screen as needed during the Calibration Process.
3.6 When numeric entries are required, access a soft keypad by pressing the appropriate TI function softkey twice.
3.7 Perform only those portions of the procedure that pertain to TI being calibrated.
3.8 Unless otherwise specified, the TI controls should be set for several cycles of stable display with ample amplitude.
NOTE
The Active Head (p/o Oscilloscope Calibrator) is an integral part of the Oscilloscope Calibrator. All connections are to be made through the Active Head.
