Getting Started
Voltage Probe
Check Wizard
You can use the Probe Check Wizard to verify that a voltage probe is operating
properly. The wizard does not support current probes.
The wizard helps you adjust the compensation for voltage probes (usually with a
screw on the probe body or probe connector) and set the factor for the Attenuation
option for e
ach channel, such as in the Channel 1 Menu ► Probe ► Voltage
► Attenuation option.
You should
use the Probe Check Wizard each time you connect a voltage probe to
an input channel.
To use the
Probe Check Wizard, push the Probe Check button. If the v oltage
probe is connected properly, compensated properly, and the Attenuation option in
the oscilloscope Vertical menu is set to match the probe, the oscilloscope displays
a PASSED message at the bottom of the screen. Otherwise, the oscilloscope
displays directions on the screen to guide you in correcting these problems.
NOTE. The Probe Check Wizard is useful for 1X, 10X, 20X, 50X, and 100X
probe
s. It is not useful for 500X or 1000X probes, or for probes connected to
the Ext Trig BNC.
NOTE
. When the process is complete, the Probe Check Wizard restores the
oscilloscope settings (other than the Probe option) to what they were before you
pushed the Probe Check button.
To
compensate a probe that you plan to use with the E xt Trig input, follow these
steps:
1. Co
nnect the probe to any input channel BNC, such as to channel 1.
2. Push the Probe Check button and follow the directions on the screen.
3. After you verify that the probe functions and is compensated properly, connect
the probe to the Ext Trig BNC.
Manual Probe Compensation
As an alternative m ethod to the Probe Check Wizard, you can manually perform
this adjustment to match your p robe to the input channel.
NOTE. Be sure to properly connect the voltage probe reference lead to the Probe
Comp reference terminal because the oscilloscope channels are isolated from the
Probe Comp terminals.
