  • Page 13: Active Probe Amplifier

    RIGOL Active Probe Amplifier The active probe amplifier (Figure 2), with more than 1.5GHz bandwidth, is a main component of the active probe. One end of the active probe amplifier can be connected to the DS6000 series oscilloscope and the other end can be connected to the desired probe head.
  • Page 14: Probe Head

    RIGOL Probe Head RP7000 supports hand-held probe head and solder-in probe head. Hand-held Probe Head Hand-held probe head includes two types: hand-held differential probe head and hand-held single-ended probe head. Like using common passive probes, you can use this kind of probe head to easily measure signals.
  • Page 15 RIGOL Figure 4 Hand-held Single-ended Probe Head Wherein, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6, probe tip and single-ended ground collar are standard accessories and are both replaceable. If any of them is damaged during use, you can easily replace it with a new one (refer to To Replace Probe Accessories).

  • Page 18: To Use Rp7000 Series Active Probe

    RIGOL To Use RP7000 Series Active Probe During the use of RP7000 series active probe, correct operations can ensure the probe performance, prolong the service life of the probe and ensure the effectiveness of the signal measurement result. This chapter introduces in detail the using method of the RP7000 series active probe.
  • Page 19: To Connect To The Oscilloscope

    RIGOL To Connect to the Oscilloscope After RP7000 is connected correctly to a RIGOL DS6000 series oscilloscope, the oscilloscope recognizes the probe automatically and provides both power and offset voltage to the probe. You can adjust the offset voltage (refer to To Adjust Offset Voltage) and calibrate the probe (refer to To Calibrate the Probe) by the front panel menu of the oscilloscope.
  • Page 20 RIGOL tested. To disconnect the probe from the oscilloscope, press the button on the probe (as shown in the left figure below), pull the connector straight out of the oscilloscope (as shown in the right figure below) and then release the button.
  • Page 21: To Use The Probe Head

    RIGOL To Use the Probe Head Known from Probe Head, RP7000 can be connected with 4 kinds of probe heads. You can easily change the probe head by using the method introduced in To Replace Probe Accessories. This chapter introduces how to use the four kinds of probe heads respectively.

  • Page 26 RIGOL To replace the nickel wire If the nickel wire of the solder-in probe head under use become damaged or break off, you can replace a new one. The probe head nickel wire should satisfy the following size requirement, namely the length must be shorter than 5mm.
  • Page 27: To Adjust Offset Voltage

    RIGOL To Adjust Offset Voltage RIGOL DS6000/MSO4000/DS4000 series oscilloscope can provide offset voltage to the RP7000 series active probe. The offset voltage adjusts the measured signal which exceeds the input dynamic range of the probe within an appropriate range to ensure the measured signal’s integrity.
  • Page 28: To Calibrate The Probe

    RIGOL To Calibrate the Probe Before using, you can use the PCK1000 active differential probe calibration kit to calibrate the RP7000 series active probe.Follow the procedures below to calibrate the RP7000 active probe using this kit: Connect one connector to the calibration board and the female BNC of the cable respectively and then connect the other connector to the other part of the calibration board (called part 1).
  • Page 29 RIGOL calibration will last for about 40 to 50 seconds. When probe calibration finished, “Probe calibration finished!” or “Probe calibration failure!” is displayed in the user interface of the oscilloscope. Note: to ensure the calibration precision, the probe tips must be firmly connected to the calibration board during the calibration.
