At Calibration, 25 °C ambient, over any ≥1 ms interval.
Timebase temperature stability±20 PPB across the full operating range of 0 °C to 50 °C, after a sufficient soak time at the
temperature.
The instrument needs to soak at a fixed temperature for an extended period of time to insure
the time-base frequency is stable. The following is a worst case estimation for the frequency
error versus the amount of time the instrument has been soaking at a temperature.Max error (in
ppb) = ±10^[log[100/soak time(in hours)]]
For example, a 1 hour soak will have a max frequency error of ±100 ppb, but a 10 hour soak
will have a max frequency error of 10 ppb.

1000 s/div is the maximum horizontal scale which limits the acquisition length to 10000 s (2
hours, 46 minutes and 40 seconds).
Below a record length of 62.5 kS, the horizontal scale is further limited. The maximum
horizontal scale can be calculated by dividing the record length by 10 (because there are 10
division on-screen) and then dividing by the minimum sample rate (6.25 S/s).The table below
shows maximum horizontal scales for a collection of record length.

LineN/A
This limit is checked by SPC at very low frequency (nearly DC).
This limit does not include frequency dependent effects, edge type trigger sensitivity not DC
coupled, or trigger position error.
Set the trigger level to the desired value. Using an adjustable DC source, inject a voltage into
the instrument. Adjust the voltage downward (if checking negative slope) or upward (if checking
positive slope) until the scope triggers. The difference between the trigger level setting and the
voltage that actually caused the trigger is the trigger level accuracy.
For Logic, time between channels refers to the length of time a logic state derived from more
than one channel must exist to be recognized. For Events, the time is the minimum time
between a main and delayed event that will be recognized if more than one channel is used.

Loop Bandwidth of external tracking mode is a function of the PLL loop maximum slew rate
capability, and is not linear. The modulation deviation frequency (±Hz) is dependent upon the
maximum modulation rate (Hz). For example, a deviation of ±50 Hz or less can tolerate any
modulation rate. A deviation of the maximum amount specified for this mode (±10 kHz or 1 kppm)
will tolerate up to 80 Hz of modulation rate. A deviation of ±500Hz will tolerate up to about 1240 Hz
of modulation rate. This is based on a measured instrument response to the reference clock being
modulated. Example measurement is in the below table.

10 mV/division to 1 V/division: ≤0.1 division waveform displacement or ≤0.2 division increase in peak-to-peak noise is allowed when the instrument is subjected to
fields and signals as defined in the IEC 61000-4-3.
9
This product is intended for use in nonresidential areas only. Use in residential areas may cause electromagnetic interference.
10
Emissions which exceed the levels required by this standard may occur when this equipment is connected to a test object.
11
For compliance with the EMC standards listed here, high quality shielded interface cables that incorporate low impedance connection between the cable shield and
the connector shell should be used.
12
Equipment may not meet the immunity requirements of applicable listed standards when test leads and/or test probes are connected due to coupling of
electromagnetic interference onto those leads/probes. To minimize the influence of electromagnetic interference, minimize the loop area between the unshielded
portions of signal and associated return leads, and keep leads as far away as possible from electromagnetic disturbance sources. Twisting unshielded test leads
together is an effective way to reduce loop area. For probes, keep the ground return lead as short as possible and close to the probe body. Some probes have
accessory probe tip adapters to accomplish this most effectively. In all cases, observe all safety instructions for the probes or leads used.

You might need additional cables and adapters, depending on the actual test equipment you use.
These procedures cover all MSO64B, MSO66B, and MSO68B models. Disregard checks that do not apply to the specific model you are
testing.
Print the test record on the following pages and use it to record the performance test results for your oscilloscope.
Note: Completion of the performance verification procedure does not update the stored time and date of the latest successful
adjustment. The date and time are updated only when the adjustment procedures in the service manual are successfully
completed.
The performance verification procedures verify the performance of your instrument. They do not adjust your instrument. If your instrument
fails any of the performance verification tests, you should return the instrument to Tektronix for adjustment or repair.
