Page 28: Connecting To A Circuit
Getting started Connecting to a circuit Warning: This measurement system contains laser sources; exposing these laser sources may cause laser exposure. Except for the sensor tip cables on the sensor head, do not remove any plastic or metallic covers from the sensor head or comp box or attempt to disassemble the product. -
Page 29: Figure 4: Connecting The Sensor Tip Cable To The Sensor Head
Getting started Figure 4: Connecting the sensor tip cable to the sensor head 4. Connect the sensor head to the included bipod or a similar support. This support keeps the sensor head steady reducing the potential mechanical stresses at the electrical connection point of the DUT. -
Page 30: Self-Calibration
Getting started Self-calibration The TIVP contains a self-calibration function that corrects Gain Accuracy, DC offset, and frequency response. These parameters change as the probe warms up to operating temperature and remains constant once the temperature reaches steady-state. After the probe warms up, self-calibration is recommended when there is a 5°C change in ambient temperature. -
Page 31: Autozero
Getting started Self-calibration takes less than 2 minutes to complete. Your signal does not need to be disconnected from the probe head when running self-calibration. The LED next to the SELF CAL button on the compensation box will flash yellow during the operation. -
Page 32: Menu Button
Getting started Menu button Press the MENU button on the comp box to view the Probe Setup menu on the oscilloscope. Figure 6: Probe Setup menu Use the menu options on the oscilloscope to change the probe settings. Ranges The measurement system has a variety of ranges available for you to select, whether the probe is being used with or without a tip. -
Page 33: Auto Range
Getting started Auto Range In 4, 5, and 6 Series oscilloscopes, the Range Mode is selectable for either Auto Range, or Manual. With the Range Mode set to Auto Range, the probe range is automatically selected when the V/div knob on the oscilloscope is turned. The relationship between probe range and V/div setting matches that shown in Table 2: Ranges and 4/5/6 Series MSO Volts/div settings... -
Page 34: Input Coupling Ac Or Dc
Getting started Input coupling AC or DC The TIVP sensor head contains both DC and DC Reject input coupling modes. By default, DC coupling is enabled; the mode is switchable through the scope interface or PI command. The DC input coupling setting provides a direct, DC coupled, electrical path in the sensor head; it accepts all types of signals, including unchanging DC voltages, time-varying DC voltages, AC, and combinations of AC and DC. -

Page 37: Common Mode Rejection Ratio Graphs
Reference information Common mode rejection ratio graphs The ability to measure common mode rejection ratios (CMRR) of the IsoVu system below 100 kHz is limited by the dynamic range of test systems. Due to the optical isolation of the IsoVu sensor head, the DC CMRR performance of all tip cables is expected to be greater than 160 dB. -
