TCPA300/400 Amplifiers and TCP300/400 Series Current Probes Instruction Manual
DC Gain Adjustment
This procedure adjusts the DC gain accuracy of the TCP303 and TCP404XL
probes.
1. Connect the amplifier OUTPUT to the DMM input using a BNC-to-Dual
Banana connector, 50 Ω BNC cable, and a 50 Ω precision feedthrough
termination. Do not connect the termination at the amplifier output.
2. Connect the current probe to the amplifier PROBE INPUT connector.
3. If you are adjusting a TCP303, connect the banana lead cable to the output
connectors of the AC current source. If you are adjusting a TC P404XL,
connect the 5-turn DC current loop to the current source as shown in
Figure 6--7.
4. Do not clamp the current probe around any conductor, but make sure the
slide is locked.
