VII.CALIBRATION PROCESS FOR OSCILLOSCOPE, TEKTRONIX
1. Test Instrument Identification
This bulletin provides instructions for the A-level
calibration of Oscilloscope, Tektronix Types 317 and
RM17 and C-level calibration of Oscilloscope, Tektronix
Type 317. The manufacturer's instruction manuals were
used as the prime data source in compiling these
instructions. The oscilloscope will be referred to as the
"TI" (test instrument) throughout this bulletin.
a. Model Variations. Type RM17 is the
rackmounted version of type 317. Wherever difference
exists between types, adjustments and parameters for
type 317 are listed in parenthesis for A-level calibration.
b. Time and Technique. The time required for this
calibration is approximately 3 hours, using the dc and
low frequency technique.
2. Calibration Data Card, DA Form 2416.
a. Forms, records, and reports required for
calibration personnel at all levels are prescribed by
TM 38-750. DA Form 2416 must be annotated
SECTION I
in accordance with TM 38-750 for each calibration
performed.
b. Adjustments to be reported on DA Form 2416
are designated (R) at the end of the sentence in which
they appear. When adjustments are in tables, the (R)
will follow the designated adjustment. Report only those
adjustments made and designated with (R).
3. Reporting of Errors
The reporting of errors, omissions, and
recommendations for improving this publication by the
individual user is encouraged. Reports should be
submitted on DA Form 2028, Recommended Changes
to Publications, and forwarded direct to Commander,
U.S. Army Missile Command, ATTN: AMSMI-MFPA,
Redstone Arsenal, AL 35809.

NOTE
Do not perform power supply check if
all other parameters are within
tolerance.
a. Performance Check
(1) Connect multimeter (A3) between -150V
test point (fig. 6) and chassis ground, using leads (B6
and B7) and two adapters (B1). If multimeter does not
indicate between 147 and 153 volts dc, perform b(1)
below.
(2) Repeat technique of (1) above, using test
points listed in table 15. Multimeter will indicate within
limits specified.

(3) Connect multimeter between HV test point
(fig. 5) and chassis ground, using leads (B6 and B7) and
two adapters (B1). If multimeter does not indicate
between -1261 and -1339 volts dc, perform b(2) below.
