6 Click Calibrate to begin the procedure. The procedure may take several minutes to
complete.
7 Verify that the Status changes to Pass after the procedure is complete. If the Calibration
Status field indicates anything other than Pass, see Signal Path Compensation Status for
information on the readout and recommended action.
Signal Path Compensation Status
The following table lists the possible calibration status messages for signal path compensation and
the recommended action.
Status Meaning and recommended action
Pass The instrument had warmed up for 20 minutes, there were no failures
during the signal path compensation procedure, and the current operating
temperature is within 5° C of the operating temperature when the
previous signal path compensation was run.
Fail One or more failures occurred during the signal path compensation
procedure. Contact your local Tektronix service representative for further
action.
Temp
The operating temperature is not within 5° C of the previous signal path
compensation.
Warmup The instrument has not warmed up for 20 minutes. Wait for the
instrument to warm up for at least 20 minutes before running the signal
path compensation procedure.
Low Frequency Probe Compensation
Use this procedure to compensate passive probes to ensure maximum distortion-free inputs to the
instrument.
1 If you have not already done so, connect the probe to channel 1 on the instrument.
2 Attach the probe tip and reference lead to the probe compensation terminals as shown.
3 Press the AUTOSET button on the instrument.
4 Adjust the probe until you see a square wave with a perfectly flat top on the display. See
your probe manual for adjustment instructions.
Taking Cursor Measurements
Use this procedure to take measurements with cursors.
1 To open the Cursor control window, press the Cursors button on the front panel, click
Cursors on the toolbar, or click Cursor Setup from the Cursors menu.
2 Select the waveform that you want to measure and a Cursor Type from the control window.
3 Position the cursors with the multipurpose knobs.
4 Read the cursor information from the Position controls.
Select the cursor mode (Tracking or Independent) in the Cursor Setup control window.
