Installation
3. Connect the probe connector to
oscilloscope channel 1 and the probe tip
and reference lead to the
PROBE COMP
terminals on the oscilloscope front panel.
4. Push Default Setup .
5. Push Autoset . The screen should now
display a square wave, approximately
2.5 V at 1 kHz.
If the signal appears but is misshapen,
perform the procedures for compensating
the probe. (See page 14,
Compensating
a non-TPP0500 or non-TPP1000
Passive Voltage Probe
.)
If no signal appears, rerun the procedure.
If this does not remedy the situation,
have the instrument serviced by quali
fi ed
service personnel.
Compensating a TPP0500 or TPP1000 Passive Voltage Probe
The MDO4000 Series oscilloscopes can automatically compensate TPP0500 and TPP1000 probes. This eliminates the need
for manual probe compensation, as is typically performed with other probes.
Each compensation generates values for a speci fi c probe and channel combination. If you want to use the probe on another
channel and desire to compensate the new probe-channel pair, you must run a new set of compensation steps for that new
combination.
1. Connect the oscilloscope power cable. (See
page 10,
Powering on the Oscilloscope .)
2. Power on the oscilloscope.
