Logic Probe, and BNC cables. You connect most probes simply by pushing them into the connector until the
probe seats with a click. See Connecting Probes on page 31
2. LAN Status LED:
Shows the network connection and activity status:
â–
Off - No power to instrument
â–
Green - Network connection is good
â–
Red - Network connection has fault or is not connected
3. Probe Compensation connectors:
The Probe Compensation connections provide a ground connector and 1 kHz square wave source for adjusting the high-
frequency response of a passive probe (probe compensation). The oscilloscope uses this signal to automatically
compensate supported probes. See Compensate the TPP0500B or TPP1000 probes on page 71.
You can also use the ground connector to attach an anti-static wrist strap, to reduce the chance of electrostatic damage
(ESD) while you handle or probe the DUT.
4. USB Host ports:
USB ports are located at the lower right corner of the front panel. Connect USB flash drives to which you can save or recall
data (such as instrument firmware updates, waveforms, settings, and screen captures), or connect peripheral devices such
as a mouse or keyboard.
5. Aux Trig trigger input connector:
An SMA connector to which you can connect an external trigger input signal. Use the AUX In trigger signal with the Edge
trigger mode.
