John,

Trigger levels are set to "Preset" for most steps. In step 18, I
verified that Preset is 0V and the Level voltage varied from
aproximately -1.3 to +0.6 volts. The manual specifies "approximately
-1.3 to +0.5 volts."

In step 15, the standard deviation was bouncing around between about
36-57pS. The manual says that less than 100pS is good.

Time for bed.
