PXIe-5163 Compensating Passive Probes
Compensating passive probes increases the accuracy of your measurements by matching the
capacitance of your probe to the capacitance of a particular oscilloscope input channel.
Before beginning this procedure, complete the following:
•
Set up your oscilloscope in a compatible chassis;
•
Install a version of NI-SCOPE compatible with your oscilloscope on your system; and
•
Configure a panel and layout in InstrumentStudio to include your oscilloscope.
Note
For more information on using InstrumentStudio, refer to the
InstrumentStudio Manual
.
The following equipment is required for this procedure:
If using the Oscilloscope Probe
Compensator
•
Oscilloscope Probe Compensator (NI part number
786983-01)
If connecting the probe directly to
the oscilloscope PFI
•
A 50 Ω SMB (f)-to-BNC (f) cable, such as the
SMB-100 (NI part number 781449-01)
•
A probe tip–to-BNC (m) adapter
The PXIe-5163 can output a 1 kHz square wave that you can use to compensate passive
probes.
To compensate a passive probe, complete the following steps:
1.
Connect the BNC end of the probe to an input channel of your oscilloscope.
