These procedures cover all 3 Series MDO models. Please disregard any 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 consult the factory adjustment procedures described in the 3 Series MDO Service Manual. Upgrade the Firmware For the best functionality, you can upgrade the oscilloscope firmware. To upgrade the firmware of the oscilloscope: 1. Open up a Web browser and go to www.tektronix.com/software/downloads. Proceed to the software finder. Download the latest firmware for your oscilloscope on your PC. 2. Unzip the files and copy the firmware.img file into the root folder of a USB flash drive or USB hard drive. 3. Power off your oscilloscope. 4. Insert the USB flash or hard drive into the USB port on the front panel of your oscilloscope. 3 Series MDO Mixed Domain Oscilloscope Specifications and Performance Verification 35 Performance verification 5. Power on the oscilloscope. The instrument automatically recognizes the replacement firmware and installs it. Note: Do not power off the oscilloscope or remove the USB drive until the oscilloscope finishes installing the firmware. If the instrument does not install the firmware, rerun the procedure. If the problem continues, try a different model of USB flash or hard drive. Finally, if needed, contact qualified service personnel. 6. When the upgrade is complete, power off the oscilloscope and remove the USB flash or hard drive. 7. Power on the oscilloscope. 8. Tap Help and select About. The oscilloscope displays the firmware version number. 9. Confirm that the version number matches that of the new firmware. Test Record Print this section for use during the Performance Verification.

The oscilloscope must have been operating continuously for ten (10) minutes in an environment that meets the operating range specifications for temperature and humidity. 2. You must perform a signal path compensation (SPC). (See Self Tests -- System Diagnostics and Signal Path Compensation section below.) If the operating temperature changes by more than 5 °C (41 °F), you must perform the signal path compensation again. 3. You must connect the oscilloscope and the test equipment to the same AC power circuit. Connect the oscilloscope and test instruments into a common power strip if you are unsure of the AC power circuit distribution. Connecting the oscilloscope and test instruments into separate AC power circuits can result in offset voltages between the equipment, which can invalidate the performance verification procedure. The time required to complete all the procedures is approximately one hour. Warning: Some procedures use hazardous voltages. To prevent electrical shock, always set voltage source outputs to 0 V before making or changing any interconnections. Self Tests, System Diagnostics, and Signal Path Compensation These procedures use internal routines to verify that the oscilloscope functions and passes its internal self tests. No test equipment or hookups are required. Start the self test with these steps: Run the System Diagnostics (may take several minutes): 1. Disconnect all probes and cables from the oscilloscope inputs. 2. Push Default Setup on the front-panel to set the instrument to the factory default settings. 3. Tap Utility > Self Test. This displays the Self Test configuration menu. 4. Tap the Run Self Test button. 5. Wait while the self test runs. When the self test completes, a dialog box displays the results of the self test. 6. Verify that the status of all tests is Passed. 7. Cycle the oscilloscope power off and back on before proceeding. Note: Remember to cycle the oscilloscope power off and back on before proceeding. Run the signal-path compensation routine (may take 5 to 15 minutes per channel): 1. Push Default Setup on the front panel. 35 Verifies the maximum frequency. 3 Series MDO Mixed Domain Oscilloscope Specifications and Performance Verification 78 Performance verification 2. Tap Utility > Calibration. This displays the Calibration configuration menu. 3. Tap the Run SPC button to start the routine. 4. Signal-path compensation may take 5 to 15 minutes to run per channel. 5. Verify that the SPC Status is Passed. 6. Return to regular service: Tap anywhere outside the menu to exit the Calibration menu. The self test procedures are completed. If any of the above tests failed, run the tests again. If there are still failures, contact Tektronix Customer Support. Note: You cannot run the remaining performance tests until the self tests pass and the SPC has successfully run. Check Input Termination DC Coupled (Resistance) This test checks the Input Termination for 1 M or 50 settings. 1. Connect the output of the oscilloscope calibrator (for example, Fluke 9500) to the oscilloscope channel 1 input, as shown below. Warning: Be sure to set the generator to Off or 0 volts before connecting, disconnecting, and/or moving the test hookup during the performance of this procedure. The generator is capable of providing dangerous voltages. Note: Impedance measuring equipment that produces a voltage across the channel that exceeds the measurement range of the instrument may report erroneous impedance results. A measurement voltage exceeds the measurement range of the instrument when the resulting trace is not visible on the graticule. 2. Push Default Setup on the front panel to set the instrument to the factory default settings. 3. Push the channel button on the front panel for the oscilloscope channel that you are testing, as shown in the test record (for example, 1, 2, 3, or 4). 4. Confirm that the oscilloscope termination and calibrator impedance are both set to 1 M. 5. Turn the Vertical Scale knob to set the vertical scale, as shown in the test record (for example, 10 mV/div, 100 mV/div, 1 V/div). See Input Termination Tests on page 36. 6. Measure the input resistance of the oscilloscope with the calibrator. Record this value in the test record. 7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each volt/division setting in the test record. 8. Change the oscilloscope termination to 50 and repeat steps 5 through 7. 9. Repeat steps 4 through 9 for each channel listed in the test record and relevant to the model of oscilloscope that you are testing, as shown in the test record (for example, 2, 3, or 4). This completes the procedure. 3 Series MDO Mixed Domain Oscilloscope Specifications and Performance Verification 79 Performance verification Check DC Balance This test checks the DC balance. You do not need to connect the oscilloscope to any equipment to run this test. The only piece of equipment needed is a BNC feed-through 50 terminator. 1.

Note: Translate the mean value into divisions for use in the test record. To do this, divide the voltage value by the vertical scale value. (e.g. 0.2 V / (1 V / division) = 0.2 divisions) 17. Repeat step 6 on page 80 and step 16 on page 80 for each volts/division value listed in the results table. 18. Repeat step 6 on page 80 and step 17 on page 80 for each bandwidth setting in the test record table. 19. Repeat the channel tests at 1 M impedance as follows: a.
