Connect the probe tip to the 1 kHz source, and the ground clip to the ground. For best results, remove any probe tip
accessories and hold the probe tip directly onto the 1 kHz connector.
NOTE. Connect only one probe at a time to the PROBE COMP terminals.
3. Turn off all channels.
4. Turn on the channel to which the probe is connected.
5. Select File > Autoset from the menu bar. The screen displays a square wave.
6. Double-tap the badge of the channel that you want to compensate.
7. Tap the Probe Setup panel.
If the Probe Compensation Status says Pass, the probe is already compensated for this channel. You can move the probe
to another channel and start again from step 1, or connect a different probe to this channel and start from step 1.
If the Probe Compensation Status says Default, continue with this procedure.
8. Tap Compensate Probe to open the Probe Compensation dialog.
9. Tap Compensate Probe to run the probe compensation.
10. The probe compensation is finished when the Probe Compensation Status displays Pass. Disconnect the probe tip and
ground from the PROBE COMP terminals.
11. Repeat these steps for each supported passive probe that you want to compensate for this channel.
12. Repeat these steps to compensate supported probes on other channels of the oscilloscope.
NOTE. For most accurate measurements, open the Probe Setup panel and verify the Probe Compensation Status is Pass
whenever you attach a probe to a channel.
Connect to a network (LAN)
Connecting to a network allows you to remotely access the instrument.
To access the user interface on the MSO58LP, connect a monitor to a video port on the rear of the instrument, and connect a
mouse to any USB Host port. You do not need to connect a mouse if your remote monitor is touch-capable. You can also
remotely access the user interface of a network-connected instrument by entering the instrument's IP address in a web browser.
To remotely set this control or run this task on an MSO58LP, see the 5 Series MSO MSO54, MSO56, MSO58, MSO58LP
Programmer Manual (Tektronix part number 077-1305-xx) for the correct command or commands to use.
Work with your network administrator to obtain the required information to connect to your network (IP address, Gateway IP
address, Subnet Mask, DNS IP address, and so on).
1. Connect a CAT5 cable from the oscilloscope LAN connector to your network.
2. Select Utility > I/O on the menu bar to open the I/O configuration menu.
