Amplitude Corrections External Probe Correction Tab
External Probe Correction Tab
The External Probe Correction tab is used to specify whether a correction factor is applied to the signal
when a Tektronix P7000 Series probe is connected to the spectrum analyzer through the Tektronix
RTPA2A Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer TekConnect Probe Adapter.
The spectrum analyzer can detect when an RTPA2A TekConnect probe adapter is connected to the
instrument. The only setting available on the tab speci
fi es whether a correction is applied to the signal
or not. The amount of correction is speci fi c to the probe and is communicated to the spectrum analyzer
through the RTPA2A TekConnect probe adapter.
When the spectrum analyzer detects an RTPA2A probe adapter, it automatically applies a correction.
However, you can choose not to apply the correction. This would enable you to keep the probe adapter
connected to the spectrum analyzer even if you chose not to use a probe to connect to a signal.
If the spectrum analyzer does not detect a probe adapter, the setting to correct for a probe is dimmed
and
No probe detected is displayed on the tab.
