Calculated rise time
Measurements made using the oscilloscope's automated measurement feature may read slower rise time values than those determined by the above equation. This is because the automated measurements do not take interpolation into account. Measuring using cursors on the interpolated waveform gives a more accurate result.
The formula is calculated by measuring the –3 dB bandwidth of the oscilloscope. The formula accounts for the rise time contribution of the oscilloscope independent of the rise time of the signal source.
Calculated rise time (10% to 90%, in ps) equals 0.35/BW except from 1000 to 2100 mentioned in below table.

Guaranteed, the specification valid after 30 minute warm-up and Signal Path Compensation (SPC) at ambient.
Timebase delay time range
-10 divisions to 5000 s
Delta time measurement accuracy (DTA)
The formula to calculate delta-time measurement accuracy (DTA) for a given instrument setting and input signal is as follows (assumes insignificant signal content above the Nyquist frequency).

SR1 = Slew rate (1st Edge) around 1st point in measurement

SR2 = Slew rate (2nd Edge) around 2nd point in measurement

N = Input-referred noise (Vrms)

TBA = Timebase accuracy

tp = Delta-time measurement duration (sec)

RD = (Record length)/(Sample rate)

(assume edge shape that results from Gaussian filter response)

(Assumes insignificant error due to aliasing)

The term under the square root sign is stability and is due to Time Interval Error (TIE). The errors due to this term occur throughout a single-shot measurement. The second term is due to both the absolute center-frequency accuracy and the center-frequency stability of the time base and varies between multiple single-shot measurements over the observation interval (the amount of time from the first single-shot measurement to the final single-shot measurement).

Performance verification procedures

This chapter contains performance verification procedures for the specifications marked with the ✔ symbol. The following equipment, or a suitable equivalent, is required to complete these procedures.

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, repeat the failing test, verifying that the test equipment and settings are correct. If the instrument continues to fail a test, contact Tektronix Customer Support for assistance.

These procedures cover all 2 Series MSO instruments. Completion of the performance verification procedure does not update the instrument time and date.

Print the test records on the following pages and use them to record the performance test results for your oscilloscope. Disregard checks and test records that do not apply to the specific model you are testing.

The following table lists the required equipment. You might need additional cables and adapters, depending on the actual test equipment you use.

    • Voltage = (number of vertical divisions * VoltsPerDiv)/2
    • Vnegative = TotalOffset – Voltage
    • Vpositive = TotalOffset + Voltage
    • VdiffExpected = abs(Vnegative – Vpositive)
    • Divisions = peak to peak voltage in division equivalent (7 divisions at 1mV/div = 7mVpp signal, or ±3.5mV, around the TotalOffset)

  8. Set the Source to the appropriate channel, such as D0.
    By default, the Type is set to Edge, Coupling is set to DC, Slope is set to Rising, Mode is set to Auto, and Level is set to match the threshold of the channel being tested.
  9. Tap outside the menu to close it.
  10. Set the DC voltage source (Vs) to -400 mV. Wait 3 seconds. Check the logic level of the corresponding digital channel in the display.
    If the channel is a static logic level high (green), change the DC voltage source Vs to -500 mV.
  11. Increment Vs by +20 mV. Wait 3 seconds and check the logic level of the corresponding digital channel in the display. If the channel is at a static logic level high (green), record the Vs value as in the 0 V row of the test record.
    If the channel is a logic level low (blue) or is alternating between high and low, repeat this step (increment Vs by 20 mV, wait 3 seconds, and check for a static logic high).

    If the channel is a logic level high (green) or is alternating between high and low, repeat this step (decrement Vs by 20 mV, wait 3 seconds, and check for a static logic low). Continue until a value for Vs+ is found.
  25. Double-tap the Trigger badge.
  26. Tap Slope and change the slope to rising edge.
