Chapter 1: Operating the Probe

Probe Operating Range

To connect the probe

1

Connect the probe output to the instrument input.

The probe output is through a Type-N connector and the probe is designed to 
be terminated with 50 

Ω

 1%. 

•

If your instrument has a fixed 50-

Ω

 input, connect the probe output. 

•

If your instrument has selectable input resistance, connect the probe 
output and set the instrument input resistance to 50 

Ω

.  If your 

oscilloscope has probe power for this probe, it may automatically set the 
input resistance to 50 

Ω

 for you. 

•

If your instrument does not provide a 50-

Ω

 input, connect a Type-N(f) to 

BNC(m) adapter and a 50-

Ω

 feedthrough (such as an 10100C) to the 

output of the probe.  Then, connect the probe to the input of your 
instrument. 

2

Connect the probe power cable to a Power connector.   

Red dots on the cable connector housing align with the connector keys. Align 
the keys when inserting the cable connector into the power connector. 

CAUTION:

The probe power cable connector automatically locks in the mating power 
connector.  To separate the connectors, you must pull on the knurled part of 
the cable connector housing.  This releases the lock.  If you pull on the cable 
the connectors won't release and you may damage the connector or cable. 

•

If your oscilloscope has the appropriate probe power connector, connect 
the probe power cable. 

Some oscilloscopes have more than one channel, or signal channels with 
separate trigger inputs.  In these instruments, a probe power connector 
may be associated with a specific input.  Be sure to connect the probe 
power cable to the correct connector so the instrument will respond 
correctly to the presence of the probe. 

•

If your instrument does not have the appropriate probe power connector, 
connect the probe power cable to one of the connectors on the 1143A 
Probe Offset Control and Power Module.  The 1143A provides probe power 
and offset control for two probes.
