Chapter 3: Testing Performance

of the testing.
Clear Display
When using many averages, it often takes awhile for a waveform display to stabilize after
a change. When a control on the oscilloscope is changed, averaging automatically
restarts. When just the input signal is changed, the oscilloscope must average new data
with the old so it takes longer for the waveform to stabilize.
Press the Clear Display key while changing input signals. The oscilloscope will restart
averaging and give a quick indication of the result of the signal change.
Averaging
Averaging is used to assure a stable signal for measurements. It is not necessary to wait
for complete stability of the signal (averaging complete), as long as the measurement is
well within the limits of the test.
Specifications
The specifications that apply to a particular test are given with the test procedure. For
complete specifications and characteristics see the oscilloscope’s datasheet. The
datasheet can be viewed by directing your web browser to www.agilent.com and
performing a search for the oscilloscope’s model number. The datasheet will be in the
“Library.”
Performance Test Procedures
Performance test procedures start with the next paragraph. Procedures may be done
individually and in any order.
Fluke MET/CAL Procedures
Fluke MET/CAL procedures are available for the 8000 Series oscilloscopes.
The MET/CAL badge with "PROCEDURES AVAILABLE" signifies that Fluke has created
Warranted MET/CAL procedures to verify the performance of this instrument using
MET/CAL metrology software. These procedures can be obtained from Fluke. Please
see http://www.fluke.com and search for MET/CAL for more information.
Let the oscilloscope Warm Up Before Testing
Allow the oscilloscope to warm up for at least 30 minutes prior to beginning performance tests. Failure to
allow warm-up may cause the oscilloscope to fail tests.
