Check that the instrument passes power-on self tests
Power-on self tests verify that all instrument modules are working correctly after power up.
Procedure
1. Power on the instrument and wait until the instrument screen appears.
2. Select Utility > Self Test from the top-edge Menu bar to open the Self Test configuration menu.
3. Check that the status of all power-on self tests are Passed.
If one or more power-on self tests shows Failed:
1. Power cycle the instrument.
2. Select Utility > Self Test. If one or more power-on self tests still shows Failed, contact Tektronix Customer Support.
Connecting probes to the instrument
Probes connect the instrument to your device under test (DUT). Use a probe that best matches your signal measurement needs.
Connect TPP Series, TekVPI+, TekVPI, or other supported Tektronix analog probes by pushing them into a FlexChannel connector. The
probe base latch locks with a 'click' when the probe is fully seated.
TekVPI probes automatically set the channel input parameters for that probe (bandwidth, attenuation, termination, and so on). If a probe
has a Menu button, push that button to open an on-screen configuration menu. Follow instructions provided with active probes to set their
parameters (auto zero, degauss, and so on).
To connect a TLP058 FlexChannel Logic Probe:
1. Move the locking lever to the unlocked position, then let go to reset locking lever to the center position.
2. Insert the probe into a FlexChannel connector until fully seated and the lock mechanism clicks.
3. Move the locking lever to the locked position. The status light should be a solid green.
4. To disconnect the TLP058 probe, move and hold the locking lever at the unlocked position and pull out the probe. Do not pull on the
ribbon cable while removing the probe.
Connect a BNC probe or cable by pushing it onto a channel BNC bayonet connector and turn the lock mechanism clockwise until it locks.
Note: Connecting a probe does not automatically enable that channel (make it active). Use the instrument controls or
programmatic interface to turn on a channel and open its configuration menu to verify or change probe or cable settings
(bandwidth, attenuation, termination and so on).
