Hi,
You have a built-in calibrator in the 'scope. One I'd like will
be
multi wave form capable with variable frequency and out put
level.
If your set up means calibration, then the generator should be
calibrated against known reference as well. I send in my 'scope
to a lab to maintain it's calibration official.


yes, calibration test, but just for peace of mind and something
to test the range of the scope
i would not change anything or tweak if the scope was close,
maybe attempt a repair if grossly out of spec

calibration would likely cost much more than i paid for the
scopes including delivery.

thanks for reply ,
rob
