If you do not have a deskew fixture, you
can use the controls in the Deskew menu to
set the oscill
oscope’s deskew parameters
to recommended values, based on the
nominal propagation delay of each probe.
The oscillos
cope automatically loads the
nominal propagation delay values of TekVPI
and TekProbe II (requires use of a TPA-BNC
adaptor) p ro
bes. For other common probes,
first push the side-bezel Select button, and
select the channel to which the probe is
attached. T
hen push the side-bezel Probe
Model button, and select the probe model.
If your probe is not in the list, set probe
model to Ot
her, and push the side-bezel
Propagation Delay button and dial in its
propagation delay with multipurpose knob a.
To display
the recommended deskew values
calculated by the oscilloscope, set the
side-bezel Show rec. deskews to Yes.
To set the
deskew values of each
channel to the recommended values,
push the side-bezel Set all deskews to
recomme
nded values button.

Using Probes with the TekProbe II and TekVPI Interfaces. When you attach a probe with the TekProbe II or the
TekVPI interface, the oscilloscope sets the channel sensitivity, coupling, and termination resistance automatically to
match the probe requirements. Tek P robe II probes require use of the TPA-BNC Adapter.
The Difference Between Vertical Position and Offset. Adjust the vertical position to p lace the w aveforms where you
want to see them. The waveform baseline indicators indicate the zero Volts (or Amps) level for each waveform. If you
adjust the channel’s Vertical Scale, the waveform expands or contracts around the waveform’s baseline indicator.
When you use the Channel<x> > More >Offset > Vertical Offset control to move a waveform, the baseline indicator
no longer represents zero. Instead, it represents the level of the offset. If you adjust the channel’s Vertical Scale, the
waveform expands or contracts around the waveform’s baseline indicator.
50 Ω Protection. If you select 50 Ω termination, the maximum vertical scale factor is limited to 1 V/div, except that with a
10X probe the scale factor is 10 V. If you apply excessive input voltage, the oscilloscope automatically switches to 1
MΩ termination to protect the internal 50 Ω termination. For more details, refer to the speci fications in the MDO4000
Series Oscilloscopes Technical Reference.
