Operating Information
The TPP0500 & TPP1000 10X Passive Probes are
high impedance probes with 10X attenuation that are
designed for use with Tektronix DPO/MSO4000B &
DPO/MSO5000 series ground-referenced oscilloscopes.
Connect the probe as shown in the illustrations below.
Compensating the Probe
You should compensate the probe after you attach it to an
oscilloscope for the
fi
rst time, or after you have changed
the probe tip cartridge.
1.
Connect the probe to an oscilloscope channel.
2.
On MSO/DPO5000 instruments:
a.
Connect the probe to the probe compensation output
terminals on the oscilloscope front panel.
b.
Select Vertical > Probe Cal....
c.
Select the channel number tab of the channel that you
connected the probe to.
d.
In the Calibration section, click Calibrate Probe.
On MSO/DPO4000B instruments:
a.
Press the Channel Menu front panel button for the
channel that you connected the probe to.
b.
Push the More button until Probe Setup is selected.
c.
Push the Calibrate Probe button and follow the
on-screen instructions.
If the probe compensation fails, verify that the signal
and ground connections are secure at the Probe Comp
connections on the oscilloscope. Also check that the ground
connection is secure at the probe head, the rigid or pogo
tip is secured tightly in the probe head, and the hook tip is
securely connected to the tip.
Standard Accessories
WARNING.
To avoid electric shock when using the probe
or accessories, keep
fi
ngers behind the
fi
nger guard of
probe body and accessories.

Universal IC cap
Use this cap to prevent
shorting the probe tip
between IC pins.
Press the cap on the probe
tip until it snaps on, and
then spin the cap to expose
the probe tip toward the IC
lead.

Ground springs
To limit aberrations on high
frequency signals caused
by ground path inductance,
bend the spring to reach
nearby ground connections
(<0.75 in, long; <0.25 in,
short). Reorder Tektronix
