status
The SPC Status of the instrument Signal Path
Compensation test must be Pass for the probe
compensation routine to run.
1. From the Utilities menu, select
Calibration.
2. In the Calibration configuration menu,
check that the SPC Status field is Pass.
3. If the status is not pass, disconnect all
probes and signal sources from the
oscilloscope, and run the Signal Path
Compensation routine.
When the Signal Path Compensation test status is Pass, continue compensating the probe. See
page 68.
Compensate the probe
Compensating the probe maximizes the amplitude accuracy of measurements made with the probe, you should run a probe
compensation routine on each channel that you use.
Compensate the probe
1. Connect the TEK-CDA accessory to an oscilloscope channel.
2. Connect the probe, to be compensated, to any channel of the oscilloscope. Allow the probe to warm up for 20 minutes.
