Operating Information
The TPP0850 Probe is a high impedance probe
with 50X attenuation that is 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 (Required for Initial Use)
You
must
compensate the probe after you attach it to an
oscilloscope for the
fi
rst time, or after you move it to another
channel on the same oscilloscope.
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, and secure at the probe
head and tip.
