3 Calibrating Probes

Calibration for Solder-In and Socketed Probe Heads 80
Calibration for Hand-held Browser Probe Heads 87
Calibration for N5380A/B SMA Probe Heads 89
Calibrating the InfiniiMax probes (1168B, 1169B, 1130B, 1131B, 1132B, 1134B) is
done using the E2655C Deskew and Calibration Kit. The kit contains the following
parts:
• SMA (male) to SMA (male) adapter
• SMA (male) to BNC (female) adapter
• BNC (male) to SMA (male) adapter
• 50Ω SMA Terminator
• De-skew Fixture
When the probe has been calibrated, the dc gain, offset zero, and offset gain will
be calibrated. The degree of accuracy specified at the probe tip is dependent on
the oscilloscope system specifications.
This chapter contains procedures showing vertical and skew calibration for
solder-in differential probe head, the differential browser probe head, and the SMA
probe head. The procedures can also be applied to all of the different InfiniiMax
probe configurations and for the 11560 and 1150A series active probe
configurations.
