Page 5: Best Practices For Using High Performance Oscilloscopes
Best practices for using high performance oscilloscopes Optimizing and maintaining the performance of your Tektronix product is critical to your success. This document summarizes the Best Practices for using Tektronix DSA70000C/D, DPO70000C/D/DX/SX, MSO70000C/DX, and DPO7000C Series products. Additional technical, application, and service information is available at the www.tektronix.com Web site. - Page 6 Best practices for using high performance oscilloscopes Connector cleaning All connectors must be kept clean. Dirt in connectors can damage the connector and any connectors the dirty connector is use with. Before each use do the following: 1. Verify that the connectors are free of dirt, metal particles, scratches and deformations.
- Page 7 Best practices for using high performance oscilloscopes Input connector protection Use 8 inch-pounds of torque when making connections to a 1.85 mm connector or to SMA connectors. Using the improper torque may degrade your signals and damage the connectors. Use the following procedure to make connections: Discharge the static voltage from your body by wearing a grounded antistatic wrist strap while connecting and disconnecting cables and adapters.
- Page 8 Best practices for using high performance oscilloscopes Figure 2: Installing a connector saver Use the backing wrench on the connector saver to prevent damage caused by rotation of the connectors when installing a connector. Use the supplied torque wrench to tighten (8 inch-pounds) your cable connector to the connector saver.

A Tektronix Calibration Service plan is the most efficient way to ensure specified performance over the lifetime of your Tektronix instrument. The service plan also guarantees continuous compliance with international quality and traceability standards.
- Page 11 Windows compatible applications in the Windows Desktop. Some 3rd Party applications (not from Tektronix) are included with the Windows instrument for your convenience. Caution should be taken when adding new 3rd Party programs to the Windows instrument so that the 3rd Party program will not interfere with the operation of the primary oscilloscope application and its supporting software architecture.

(DC + peak AC) between each input, or between either probe input and ground. Refer to the probe user or instruction manual for additional information available on the www.tektronix.com/manuals Web page. ESD and probes To avoid ESD damage to the probe, always use an antistatic wrist strap and work at a static-approved workstation when you handle the probe. - Page 14 Best practices for using probes Offset voltage range. Offset voltage ranges are as follows: P7600 ±4 V P7513, P7516, and P7520A -1.5 V to +2.5 V for Differential mode P7513, P7516 -2.0 V to +4.0 V for Single-Ended and Common mode (ground referenced) P7520A -1.8 V to +3.4 V for Single-Ended and Common mode (ground referenced) The Offset Voltage Control, accessible from the attached instrument, allows the...
- Page 15 DUT and the tip as short as possible, and the lead lengths the same length. Precautions when handling Tektronix P7600, P6700, P7300, and P7500 Series probes are quality measurement tools and should be treated with care to avoid damage or performance degradation probe cables due to mishandling.
- Page 16 Best practices for using probes Be sure to follow these additional precautions when handling P7500 Series probe cables: Never over-bend the probe main or tip cables, which can put a permanent kink into the cable. When storing the probe, do not coil it too tightly. It is best to use the protective foam carrying case which is designed to not exceed the minimum bend radius of 2.5 inches.
- Page 17 The bullet contacts in the probe body should be replaced every 200 insertion cycles. For medium use situations, this should be about once a year. Remove bullets. To remove the bullets, use the removal tool (Tektronix part number: 003-1896-00) and follow these steps: 1.
- Page 18 Best practices for using probes 4. Gently pull the tool outward to remove the bullet. 5. Repeat for the other bullet. CAUTION. If you cannot extract the bullets with the bullet removal tool, use fine needle-nosed pliers and a magnifying glass or microscope. Be careful not to damage the probe body with the pliers.
