  • Page 34: Basic Operation

    Basic Operation Basic Operation This section includes information about the probe input limits, using the probe controls, and procedures for connecting the probe to your circuit. A simplified input model of the probe is shown below to illustrate the probe Offset Voltage and Termination Voltage controls. (The A and B input voltages shown represent the probe when used with the coaxial adapters;...
  • Page 35 Basic Operation Using the Offset and Termination Voltages The Offset Voltage nulls out the DC bias component of an input signal, allowing the (generally smaller) AC component of the signal to be displayed. The size of the probe input dynamic range depends on the probe tip that you are using, as shown in the diagrams, and may also be dependent on the input mode selected.
  • Page 36 Basic Operation Offset Voltage. The Offset Voltage adjusts the probe input dynamic range within the larger probe input operating range, as shown in the diagrams below. The probe input dynamic range is the region where an input signal is within the linear operating region of the probe.
  • Page 37 Basic Operation Termination Voltage. The termination voltage adjusts the effective probe DC loading of the 50 ohm input termination. The probe A and B Termination Voltages are set and stored independently for each of the four input modes. When P76CA-xxx coaxial adapters are used, the termination voltage can be adjusted over a limited operating range before reaching an overload condition.

  • Page 43 Basic Operation below the average signal level. The B signal will appear 1 volt above and below the average signal level. The A signal is offset by +0.5 volt and the B signal is offset by +2 volts. Using the signal example from above, with a signal that varies from 0 to 1 volt on input A, and another from 1 to 3 volts on input B, clicking the Offsets A, B to Mean button will offset both signals by 1.25 volts (0.5 V + 2 V/2).
  • Page 44 Basic Operation Selecting the Termination Voltage The probe A and B Termination Voltages are set and stored independently for each of the four input modes. A drop-down menu selection control for the Input Mode is available in the Offset selection area of the Probe Setup screen. The Input Mode selection control box also displays the selected Input Mode to which the display of stored Termination Voltages is associated.
  • Page 45 Basic Operation Probe Adapter and Tip Information When the probe is first connected to the oscilloscope channel, the oscilloscope queries the probe for status information, including the probe type and serial number, and the model number of the adapter that is connected to the probe head.

  • Page 48: Improving Measurement Accuracy

    Basic Operation Improving Measurement Accuracy This section covers some of the features and characteristics of the probe that can affect the accuracy of your measurements, and some steps that you can take to improve the performance of the probe. Temperature Compensation The P7600 Series probes employ temperature compensation to optimize measurement accuracy.
  • Page 49 Basic Operation The Effect of DUT Source Impedance on Measurement Accuracy The input impedance of the combined P76TA adapter and P7500 Series solder tip differs from that of the P76CA-xxx coaxial adapters. When the P76TA adapter is used, this impedance difference affects the probe amplifier gain and must be accounted for by including the DUT (Device Under Test) source impedance when calculating circuit loading effects.
  • Page 50 Basic Operation Figure 6: Coaxial adapter measurement configuration Solder Tip Adapter Measurement Configuration In many of the high-frequency signaling standards that the P7600 Series probes are designed for, a 50 ohm termination at the transmitter is in parallel with another 50 ohm termination at the end of the transmission line path, effectively making a 25 ohm signal source impedance.
  • Page 51 Basic Operation Figure 7: Solder tip adapter measurement configuration and equivalent model P7600 Series TriMode Probes Quick Start User Manual...
  • Page 52 Basic Operation For systems with source impedances not equal to 25 ohms, it may be necessary to adjust the oscilloscope EXT ATTEN scale factor and the offset voltage to optimize the measurement accuracy. You may also need to adjust the probe termination voltage control to null out the DC loading effect of the probe.

  • Page 53: Connecting To A Circuit Board

    Basic Operation Connecting to a Circuit Board TriMode adapters are necessary to complete the connection between the P7600 Series probes and your circuit. The adapters are available as optional accessories and provide several connection options.

You can work with long wires (~1 inch), but keep the finished wire lengths of the signal and ground connections as short as possible.
  • Page 60 Basic Operation 4. Align the bottom of the tip to the notch in the ramp as shown, and then secure the tip to the ramp with glue or tape. (Solder ramps are included with the P76TA adapter or a kit of 25 can be ordered separately.) The notch in the ramp helps you to position the tip as close as possible (<0.032 in./0.8 mm) to the circuit connections.
  • Page 61 Basic Operation Secure the Tip 10. Push the end of the tip into the probe adapter until it seats in the probe adapter. 11. For a secure mechanical connection, use tape or hot glue to secure the tip to your circuit.
  • Page 62 Basic Operation Notes on Using the Tips. Use the following precautions when you solder the tips: Use a low-wattage, temperature-controlled soldering iron and a small mass soldering iron tip. The soldering iron temperature should be set as low as possible, while still providing a reliable solder joint. Use SAC305 solder (included with the optional wire replacement kit) to attach the tip wires to the circuit under test.
