PXIe-5164 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 LabVIEW Instrument Design Libraries for Reconfigurable
Oscilloscopes 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:
