Tektronix TriMode P7700 Series User Manual

Functional check and calibration
After you connect the probe to the oscilloscope, you can perform a functional check using either the optional deskew fixture
designed for the probe or the optional P77C292MM Adapter.
CAUTION: To avoid ESD damage to the probe, always use an antistatic wrist strap (provided with your probe), and
work at a static-approved workstation when you handle the probe.
Functional check
This procedure checks the four TriMode settings on the probe, using the FAST EDGE signal from the front panel of the
oscilloscope. It verifies the signal path of both the probe A and B input signals and their combination in the four TriMode
settings. The P7700 Series Probe deskew fixture is used to connect the FAST EDGE signal to the probe tip input. See Table
2: Required equipment, functional check with probe tip on page 9. Alternately, the P7700 Series probe with the optional
coaxial input adapter can connect directly to the FAST EDGE signal. See Table 3: Required equipment, functional check
with SMA adapter on page 9.
