Check that oscilloscope passes power-on self tests
Power-on self tests verify that all oscilloscope modules are working correctly after power up.
1. Power on the oscilloscope and wait until the oscilloscope screen appears.
2. Select Utility > Self Test from the top-edge Menu bar to open the Self Test configuration menu.
3. Check that the power-on self tests are Passed.
If the power-on self test shows Failed:
a. Power cycle the oscilloscope.
b. Tap Utility > Self Test. If the power-on self test still shows Failed, contact Tektronix Customer Support.
Connecting Probes
Probes and cables connect the oscilloscope to your device under test (DUT). Use a probe that best matches your signal
measurement needs.
Connect TPP0500, TPP1000,
®
, TekVPI
®
, or other supported Tektronix analog probes by pushing them into a
FlexChannel connector. The probe base latch locks with a 'click' when the probe is fully seated.
TekVPI probes automatically set the channel input parameters for that probe (bandwidth, attenuation, termination, and so on). If
a probe has a Menu button, push that button to open an on-screen configuration menu. Follow instructions provided with active
probes to set their parameters (auto zero, degauss, and so on).
To connect a TLP058 FlexChannel Logic Probe:
1. Move the locking lever to the unlocked position, then let go to reset locking lever to the center position.
2. Insert the probe into a FlexChannel channel until fully seated and the lock mechanism clicks.
3. Move the locking lever to the locked position. The status light should be a solid green.
4. To disconnect the TLP058 probe, move and hold the locking lever at the unlocked position and pull out the probe. Do not
pull on the ribbon cable while removing the probe.
Connect a BNC probe or cable by pushing it onto a channel BNC bayonet connector and turn the lock mechanism clockwise until
it locks.
