7 When you are finished checking all of the voltage values,
disconnect the oscilloscope calibrator from the oscilloscope.
8 Repeat this procedure for the remaining channels to be
tested.

Use a Blocking Capacitor to Reduce Noise
On the more sensitive ranges, such as 2 mV/div and 5 mV/div, noise may be a factor. To
eliminate the noise, add a BNC Tee, blocking capacitor, and shorting cap at the oscilloscope
channel input to shunt the noise to ground. See Figure 4. If a BNC capacitor is not available,
use an SMA blocking capacitor, adapter, and cap. See “Blocking capacitor and shorting cap” in
the equipment list on page 23 for details.
