  • Page 28: Calibrating The Tekconnect Probe Interface Module

    Getting Started NOTE. The mainframe displays the first six characters of the TekConnect probe model and truncates the remaining characters. For example, it will identify a P7350SMA probe as P7350S. The impedance value displayed for P7330, P7350, P7350SMA, P7513, and P7516 probes is for single-ended configuration.

  • Page 29: Nulling Offset Errors

    Getting Started Nulling Offset Errors Use the following procedure to minimize the probe offset when using the 80A03 TekConnect Probe Interface Module. CAUTION. Always plug in the 80A03 Module and the 80E0x modules with the oscilloscope power off. Failure to do so may result in equipment damage. Setup Connect the equipment in the following order: Figure 8: Setup for Nulling Offset Errors...

  • Page 30: Figure 9: Compensation Screen

    Getting Started NOTE. This procedure must be performed with the probe set to the attenuation Procedure and mode, (if applicable), that you intend to take measurements with. The internal signal path changes with these settings and the stored probe offset values will not be accurate for other settings.
  • Page 31 Getting Started 4. In the Compensation screen: a. Select Compensate and Save in the Select Action box. b. Select Module from the drop-down menu beneath the Select Action box. c. Select the oscilloscope channel number that you are using from the drop-down menu beneath the Select Action box.

  • Page 39: Sampling Module Incompatibility

    Operating Basics If you use the mainframe Trigger Direct input, it is recommended that you set the trigger level to 0 volts. With this configuration, you can control the trigger level by directly assigning the vertical offset for the CH B probe at the probe tip. Because the offset control in the probe affects the signal level at its output, this method of vertical offset adjustment provides calibrated trigger level operation.
