Calibrating Probes
Calibration for Solder-In and Socketed Probe Heads
Calibration of the solder-in and socketed probe heads consists of a vertical
calibration and a skew calibration. The vertical calibration should be performed
before the skew calibration. Both calibrations should be performed for best probe
measurement performance.
Step 1- Connecting the Probe for Calibration
The calibration procedure requires the following parts.
• BNC (male) to SMA (male) adapter
• Deskew fixture
• 50
Ω
SMA terminator
1
As shown in
on page 81, connect BNC (male) to SMA (male) adapter
to the deskew fixture on the connector closest to the yellow pincher.
2
Connect the 50
Ω
SMA terminator to the connector farthest from the yellow
pincher.
3
Connect the BNC side of the deskew fixture to the Aux Out BNC of the Infiniium
oscilloscope.
4
Connect the probe to an oscilloscope channel.
5
To minimize the wear and tear on the probe head, the probe head should be
placed on a support to relieve the strain on the probe head cables.
6
Push down on the back side of the yellow pincher. Insert the probe head
resistor lead underneath the center of the yellow pincher and over the center
conductor of the deskew fixture. The negative probe head resistor lead or
ground lead must be underneath the yellow pincher and over one of the outside
copper conductors (ground) of the deskew fixture. Make sure that the probe
head is approximately perpendicular to the deskew fixture.
7
Release the yellow pincher.
NOTE
Before calibrating the probe, verify that the Infiniium oscilloscope has been calibrated recently
and that the calibration
D
temperature is within ±5°C. If this is not the case, calibrate the
oscilloscope before calibrating the probe. This information is found in the Infiniium Calibration
dialog box.
NOTE
For the socketed probe head, insert two properly trimmed 82
Ω
resistors into the sockets.
NOTE
To ensure contact, pull up on the back side of the yellow pincher to ensure good contact
between resistor leads and the deskew fixture.
