19. After the clock icon is removed, verify the word Initialized changed to Pass
under Cal Probe in the main menu. (See Figure 3–73.)
20. If desired, repeat this procedure beginning at step 1 to compensate for other
probe/channel combinations. But before you do so, be sure you take note of
the following requirements:
Remember to first low frequency compensate any passive probe you
connect (see the prerequisites listed on page 3–159 at the beginning of
this procedure).
Remember to connect all but simple passive probes to the oscilloscope
for a twenty minute warm up before running Probe Cal.
Changing Probes After a Probe Cal. If a Probe Cal has never been performed on
an input channel or if its stored Probe Cal data is erased using the Re-use Probe
Calibration Data menu (discussed later), the oscilloscope displays Initialized
status in its vertical menu. It also displays initialized whenever you remove a
probe from an input.
If you execute a successful Probe Cal on an input channel, the oscilloscope
stores the compensation data it derived in nonvolatile memory. Therefore, this
data is available when you turn the oscilloscope off and back on and when you
change probes.
When you install a probe or power on the oscilloscope with probes installed, the
oscilloscope tests the probe at each input. Depending on the probe it finds on
each input, it takes one of the following actions:
If the probe has a TEKPROBE interface (such an interface can convey
additional information, such as a unique identification number), the
oscilloscope determines whether it is the same probe for which data was
stored. If it is, the oscilloscope sets status to pass; if not, it sets the status to
Initialized.
If a probe has a simple oscilloscope interface, the oscilloscope can usually
determine if it has a different probe attenuation factor than that stored for the
last Probe Cal. It can also determine if the last Probe Cal was for a probe
with a TEKPROBE interface. If either is the case, the probe installed is
different from that stored for the last Probe Cal. Therefore, the oscilloscope
sets the status to Initialized.
