4 Probe Calibration

This chapter provides procedures for calibrating the probe on an Infiniium
oscilloscope and on an InfiniiVision Oscilloscope.
"To Calibrate the Probe on Infiniium Oscilloscopes"
"To Calibrate the Probe on InfiniiVision Oscilloscopes"
Always calibrate the probe before making any critical measurements. A probe
calibration removes attenuation, offset, and gain errors as well as timing delays
that are introduced by the probe. The calibration applies to a specific probe
(identified by serial number) that is connected to a specific oscilloscope channel. If
you connect the probe to a different channel, the calibration will no longer be
valid.
Always wear an ESD wrist strap when working with active probes. Not
CAUTION
doing so can result in the probe becoming permanently damaged.
