Installation
3. Connect the probe connector to
oscilloscope channel 1 and the probe tip
and reference
lead to the PROBE COMP
terminals on the oscilloscope front panel.
4. Push Default Setup.
5. Push Autoset. The screen should now
display a
square wave, approximately
2.5 V at 1 kHz.
If the signal appears but is misshapen,
perform
the procedures for compensating
the probe. (See page 14, Compensating
a non-TPP0500 or non-TPP1000
Passive
Voltage Probe.)
If no signal appears, rerun the procedure.
If this does not remedy the situation,
have th
e instrument serviced by qualified
service personnel.
Compensating a TPP0500 or TPP1000 Passive Voltage Probe
The MDO4000 Series oscilloscopes can automatically compensate TPP0500 and TPP1000 probes. This e liminates the need
for manual probe compensation, as is typically performed with other probes.
Each compensation generates values for a specifi c probe and channel combination. If you want to use the probe on another
channel and desire to compensate the new probe-channel pair, you must run a new set of compensation steps for that new
combination.
1. Connect the oscilloscope power cable. (See
page 10, Powering on the Oscilloscope .)
2. Power on the oscilloscope.
