Instruction Manual

Preliminary Procedure
1. Connect the ZD Series probe to Channel 1 of the oscilloscope.
2. Turn the oscilloscope on and allow at least 30 minutes warm-up time for
the ZD Series and test equipment before performing the Verification
Procedure.
3. Turn on the other test equipment and allow them to warm up for the
manufacturer’s recommended timeframe.
4. While the instruments are reaching operating temperature, make a
photocopy of the Performance Verification Test Record (located in
Appendix A), and fill in the necessary data.
5. Select the channel to which the probe is connected. Set the oscilloscope
scale factor to 20 mV/div.
6. Disconnect the Probe from the oscilloscope. Verify that the scale factor
changes from 20 mV/div to 2 mV/div.
7. Reconnect the Probe to the oscilloscope.
The warranted characteristics of the ZD Series are valid at any temperature
within the Environmental Characteristics listed in the Specifications. However,
some of the other test equipment used to verify the performance may have
environmental limitations required to meet the accuracy needed for the
procedure. Be sure that the ambient conditions meet the requirements of all the
test instruments used in this procedure.
NOTE: The correct operation of the ZD Series controls requires software version
6.4.1.x or higher. The software version in the test oscilloscope can be verified by
selecting Utilities, Utilities Setup... from the menu bar, then the Status tab.
