When compensating TPP0500B/TPP1000 probes on the MSO/DPO4000B oscilloscopes:
Each compensation generates values for a specific probe and channel combination. If you want to use the probe on
another ch
annel and desire to compensate the new probe-channel pair, you m ust run a new set of compensation steps.
Each chann
el can store compensation values for 10 individual probes. If you try to compensate an 11th probe on a
channel, the oscilloscope will delete the values for the least recently used probe and add the values for the new probe.
The oscilloscope will assign default compensation values to a TPP0500B or TPP1000 probe connected to the Aux
In channel.
NOTE. Af
actory calibration w ill delete all stored compensation values.
NOTE. A probe compensation failure is most likely due to inte rmittent connection of the probe tip or ground connection
during the probe compensation operation. If a failure occurs, the oscilloscope will re-use the old probe compensation values,
if they
existed prior to the failed probe compensation operation.
Compe
nsating a non-TPP0500B or non-TPP1000 Passive Voltage Probe
Whenever you attach a passive voltage probe for the fi rst time to any input channel, compensate the probe to match it to
the corresponding oscilloscope input channel.
If you are interested in using the automatic probe compensation procedure described above for the TPP0500B and TPP1000
probes (See page 13, Compensating a TPP0500B or TPP1000 Passive Voltage Probe.) on a non-TPP0500B/TPP1000
Tektronix passive probe, check the instru ction manual for your probe to see if it qualifies. Otherwise, to properly compensate
your passive probe:
1. Follow the steps for the functional
check. (See page 12, Functional
Check.)
