Current probe scaling
Current probes provide a voltage signal proportional to the current. You need to
set the oscilloscope to match the scale of your current probe. The default scale is
10 A/V.
For example, to set the scale for a current probe connected to channel 1, push the
1 ► Probe ► Current ► Scale option, and select an appropriate value.
Self calibration
The self calibration routine lets you optimize the oscilloscope signal path for
maximum measurement accuracy. You can run the routine at any time but you
should always run the routine if the ambient temperature changes by 5 °C (9 °F)
or more. The routine takes about two minutes.
For accurate calibration, power on the oscilloscope and wait twenty minutes to
ensure it is warmed up.
To compensate the signal path, disconnect any probes or cables from the input
connectors. Then, access the Utility ► Do Self Cal option, and follow the
directions on the screen.
Firmware updates through the internet
Update your TBS1000B’s firmware to take advantage of new features and bug
fixes. You can use the Internet and a USB flash drive to update your oscilloscope.
If you do not have access to the Internet, contact Tektronix for information on
update procedures.
