Gain Accuracy
WARNING. Dangerous voltages will be present on the calibration generator output terminals and connection cables. Always
verify that the generator is in the standby mode before you make any connections to the generator.
The equipment and equipment settings for this test differ between probes. Refer to the table for specific settings for the
probe that you are testing.
1. Verify that the generator output is off.
2. If you are testing a P5200A probe, connect the probe output directly to the DMM through a BNC-to-male banana jack
adapter. Otherwise, connect the probe to the DMM through the Tektronix 1103 power supply.
3. Connect the probe inputs to the front outputs of the generator. Set the DMM to AC volts.
4. Set the probe attenuation to the lower range for the probe that you are testing. (See Table 11.)
5. Set the generator square wave output frequency and RMS voltage (on the main display) to the values shown in the table
for the probe that you are testing.
6. Enable the generator output and record the probe output (as displayed on the DMM) in the test record.
7. Disable the generator output.
8. Set the probe attenuation to the next range and then repeat steps 5 through 7.
