Probe Compensation
The Tektronix probes must be compensated to produce an accurate waveform.
1. Turn on the TBS1052B-EDU. Wait 40 seconds for the scope to boot up.
2. Insert the Tektronix TPP0051 probe into channel 1. To connect the Tektronix probes, align
the BNC connector probe tabs vertically and insert into the channel input then twist the BNC
connector right until the tabs are horizontal. To remove the probe, align the tabs vertically
and pull the probe off the connector.
3. Connect the Probe tip to the PROBE COMP output as shown in Figure 3.
4. Press Autoset.
5. If the 5 volt, 1 KHz signal looks like either picture in Figure 4, continue to the next step.
6. Insert a probe compensation tool into the hole in the probe BNC connector and adjust it left
or right until the signal looks square. See Figure 5.
