To use
The Probe Status readout provides information on the status of the probe connected to the vertical input
channel.
Behavior
The instrument a utomatically detects the type of probe that you have installed and displays the probe
status information.
Default. The instrument has no c ompensation data on file for this probe, o n this channel, and is
applying factory-nominal corrections for probe operation only. This message may appear if you
connect a probe and have not performed the probe compensation. Perform a probe compensation before
you using this probe. This message also appears w hen you disconnect a probe from the vertical input.
Compensated. Compensation data for the probe connected to this channel is available from the most
recent probe compensation or the compensation data has been retrieved form nonvolatile memory.
Fail. The instrument was unable to complete the probe compensation procedure; the probe may be
faulty. Have the probe checked by Tektronix service personnel.
NOTE. The instrument must pass a signal path compensation
(see page 511) procedure before it will
perform a probe compensation procedure.
