INTRODUCTION
To ensure instrument accuracy, check its performance after every 2000 hours of operation or
once each year if used infrequently.
The instrument case does not have to be removed for the Performance Check procedure. All
necessary controls and connectors are accessible from the outside.
Test Equipment: Requirement: Example:
Test Oscilloscope 5mV-5V/Div, 50nS/Div Tek TDS210
Frequency Counter > 3MHz, < 1 % Tek CMC251
Distortion Analyzer 100KHz AA501A
Coax Cable 50 ohm P/N 012-0057-01
50 Ohm Terminator P/N 011-0049-01

knob CW and check for the same half cycle to increase to 5 divisions or greater (a
duty cycle change of 5:1).
i. Return the SYMMETRY knob to the center detent position and the test scope
Time/Div variable to the detent position.
