Using Offset With InfiniiMax Active Probes

Using Offset With InfiniiMax Active Probes

It is important to understand how the 113xA probes behave 
with respect to offset when different probe head / signal 
combinations are used. 

The purpose of offset in active probes or oscilloscope front 
ends is to allow the subtraction of most or all of the dc 
component of the input signal so the signal can better utilize 
the dynamic range of the input. When using an InfiniiMax 
probe with an Infiniium oscilloscope, you can select the case 
(see the three cases described below) that applies for your 
measurement by selecting the 

Probes

 button under the 

channel setup menu. This allows you to select which type of 
probe head is being used and, if it is a differential probe 
head, allows you to select whether you are probing a 
differential or single- ended signal. With these inputs, the 
oscilloscope will use the proper type of offset for your 
measurement case. The specifics for each case are discussed 
below.

When adjusting the offset for a particular probe head, make 
sure to have a triggered signal.

Case 1. A single-ended

probe head probing a

single-ended signal

For this case, the offset control on the oscilloscope controls 
the probe offset and the channel offset is set to zero. This 
allows the offset voltage to be subtracted from the input 
signal before the signal gets to the differential amplifier. 
Since this subtraction is done before any active circuits, the 
offset range is large (±16V). Note that the minus probe tip is 
not present when using a single- ended probe head which 
means nothing is plugged into the "–" input of the probe 
amp. This is normal and causes no problems.

Case 2. A differential probe

head probing a single-ended

signal

For this case, the offset control on the oscilloscope controls 
the probe offset and the channel offset is set to zero. This 
allows the offset voltage to be subtracted from the input
