Troubleshooting
The TCP0030 current probe is designed to work with all TekVPI-interface oscilloscopes and adapters. The LEDs on the probe alert
you to error or status conditions affecting the probe. If the probe LEDs do not light as expected, or if some of the probe features do
not work properly, an error condition may exist. See the following table.
Table 7: Probe troubleshooting
Symptom Possible cause
LEDs on the probe do not light. The oscilloscope channel may be bad:
Try another channel or another oscilloscope. If the probe still does not work, the probe
is defective, and must be returned to Tektronix for repair.
An error message displays on
the oscilloscope. The message will describe the cause and solution. For example, if the Degauss Needed
message appears, perform the degauss procedure.
Cleaning
Protect the probe from adverse weather conditions. The probe is not waterproof.
CAUTION. To prevent damage to the probe, do not expose it to sprays, liquids, or solvents. Avoid getting moisture inside
the probe during exterior cleaning.
