Check that the 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 status of all power-on self tests are Passed.
If one or more power-on self tests shows Failed:
a. Power cycle the oscilloscope.
b. Tap Utility > Self Test. If one or more power-on self tests 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.
Figure 2: Connecting probes to the instrument
1. Tektronix Versatile Probe Interface (TekVPI)
These probes support two-way communication with the oscilloscope through on-screen menus and remotely through
programmable support. The remote control is useful in applications like ATE where you want the system to set probe
parameters.
2. Tektronix Versatile Probe Interface (TekVPI) for Passive Probes
These probes build upon the functionality of the TekVPI interface. Each probe is matched with its corresponding
oscilloscope channel, allowing the oscilloscope to optimize the signal input path. This provides AC compensation across the
frequency band.
