Calibrating the Probe on Infiniium Oscilloscopes
Procedure
28
Probe calibrations vary slightly between series 9000, 90000,
and 90000 X oscilloscopes. For 9000 series oscilloscopes, the
following calibrations are used:
■
Skew Calibration
■
Attenuation/Offset Calibration
For 90000 series oscilloscopes, the following calibrations are
used:
■
DC Attenuation/Offset Calibration
■
Skew Calibration
When performing a the skew calibration, the E2655B
Performance Verification (PV) and deskew fixture is used.
The PV fixture is included with the Deskew Kit which is
shipped with Infiniium oscilloscopes. The fixture is also used
in the performance verification procedure that is
documented in
An optional N2787A 3D Probe Positioner or
equivalent can be used to hold the probe during
the calibration.
1
Turn on the oscilloscope. Allow the oscilloscope and probe
to warm up for 20 minutes before performing the probe
calibrations.
2
If the oscilloscope needs calibration, perform a user
calibration before the probe calibration. On the oscilloscope,
click Utilities > Calibration.
3 On the oscilloscope, click Setup > Probes.
4
In the Probe Calibration dialog box, select the tab
representing the channel that has the probe attached.
