SECTION I

IDENTIFICATION AND DESCRIPTION

1. Test Instrument Identification. This bulletin provides instructions for the

calibration of Digitizing Oscilloscope, Tektronix, Model TDS540B. The manufacturer's

manual was used as the prime data source in compiling these instructions. The

equipment being calibrated will be referred to as the TI (test instrument) throughout

this bulletin.

a. Model Variations . None.

b. Time and Technique . The time required for this calibration is approximately 8

hours, using the dc and low frequency technique.

2. Forms, Records, and Reports

a. Forms, records, and reports required for calibration personnel at all levels are

prescribed by TB 750-25.

b. Adjustments to be reported are designated (R) at the end of the sentence in which

they appear. Report only those adjustments made and designated with (R).

3. Calibration Description. TI parameters and performance specifications which

pertain to this calibration are listed in table 1.
