Page 43: Operating Basics
Operating Basics Operating Basics To help you use the P5200A Series High Voltage Differential Probes safely and effectively, this section provides important information about safety limits, operating characteristics, and probing techniques. Operating Characteristics and Probing Techniques This section explains the operating characteristics of the P5200A Series High Voltage Differential Probes and includes techniques that you can use to maximize the performance of the probe. - Page 44 If both waveforms are at the same voltage potential, then the differential measurement would be 2 times the individual signal inputs (in this example, 2000 V ). Looking at the maximum measurable differential voltage specifications for the P5200A Series probes, the P5210A probe is capable of measuring this signal. (See Table 6 on page 29.) For reference, the rms values of the Common-Mode Voltage and Voltage-to-Earth ratings and Maximum Input Signals for each probe model are shown in the figure above.

Figure 3: Measuring two equal-amplitude waveforms that are 120 degrees out of phase In these examples with equal-amplitude signals on the inputs, the P5200A and P5205A probes can measure up to 1300 V/2 = 650 V (460 V ) on each input when the signals are 180°...
- Page 46 The lower the impedance of the probe relative to that of the source, the more the probe loads the circuit under test. For a graph of frequency versus input impedance, refer to the Specifications section. As the graph shows, the probes have virtually no loading effect on sources with relatively low impedance and low frequency. P5200A Series High Voltage Differential Probes Instruction Manual...

Page 47: Specifications
Specifications Specifications The specifications shown apply to the P5200A Series probes installed on Tektronix MSO/DSO4000 oscilloscopes. When a probe is used with another oscilloscope, the oscilloscope must have an input impedance of 1 MΩ and a bandwidth equal to or greater than the probe. The probe must have a warm-up period of at least 20 minutes and be in an environment that does not exceed the limits described. -

2. Connect the output of the probe to channel 1 of the oscilloscope. 3. If you are testing a P5200A probe, connect the 9 VDC output plug of the AC adapter to the DC input jack of the probe, and then connect the AC adapter to the correct line voltage. - Page 64 Adjustments Offset Zero This procedure is identical for three of the probes. The fourth probe (P5200A) only uses a digital control for offset, so there is no hardware adjustment. For probes with serial numbers C199999 and below, Offset Zero is the only adjustment that can be done to the probe.
- Page 65 Only probes with serial numbers C020000 and above have internal adjustments. (See Figure 14.) Probes with serial numbers C019999 and below that require adjustments (other than offset zero) must be returned to Tektronix for service. 1. Remove the reusable back-panel label shown below to gain access to the adjustments. Store the label in a safe place to preserve the adhesive backing for reuse.

Disconnect the probe from the oscilloscope, power-cycle the oscilloscope, and then reconnect the probe. Connect the probe to a different oscilloscope. If the symptoms remain (they follow the probe), then the probe is defective and must be returned to Tektronix for repair. Signal Display If the probe is connected to an active signal source and you do not see the signal displayed on the oscilloscope: Check that the probe accessories that you are using are fully mated. -
