Check the X-ray tube voltage with the tube voltage meter (kV-201 bleeder)
Read the X-ray tube's high-voltage waveform on an external bench setup: a high-voltage bleeder (the kV-201 tube voltage meter, or equivalent) inserted between the high-voltage transformer and the X-ray tube, feeding a kVp meter and an oscilloscope through a signal cable.
