Installation
Before you connect the probe to your instrument, read the Overview below to understand the sequence of events necessary to
properly install the probe and adapters.
CAUTION.
To avoid ESD damage to the probe, always use an antistatic wrist strap (provided with your probe), and work at
a static-approved workstation when you handle the probe.
Overview
1. Connect a P76xxx adapter to the probe. This step should be done before you connect the probe to the oscilloscope.
2. Connect the probe to the oscilloscope.
3. The probe performs a self test, and then one Input Mode LED remains lit.
4.
The oscilloscope discovers the probe (if this is the fi rst time they are connected), and downloads S-parameter data from the
probe. The oscilloscope then computes the fi lters. A message displays until the process is complete.
5. The Probe Setup screen displays (if this is a fi rst-time connection).
6. Perform a functional check on the probe.
7. Use the Probe Setup screen to set the probe parameters as described in the
Basic Operation
section.
