P6209 4 GHz Probe Instruction Manual

Troubleshooting

This troubleshooting documentation details isolation to either the
probe or the oscilloscope.

To troubleshoot the P6209, the probe must be attached to an
operating TEKPROBE SMA interface oscilloscope with the bottom
cover of the compensation box removed. Refer to page 43 for
instructions on opening the compensation box.

WARNING.

Operating voltages will be present. Observe caution when

probing in the compensation box. Be careful not to touch or ground
energized components.

Work at a Level 1 ESD workstation when performing troubleshoot-
ing. The compensation box contains static sensitive devices.
