PXIe-5163 Compensating Passive Probes
Compensating passive probes increases the accuracy of your measurements by matching the
capacitance of your probe to the capacitance of a particular oscilloscope input channel.
Before beginning this procedure, complete the following:
•
Set up your oscilloscope in a compatible chassis;
•
Install a version of NI-SCOPE compatible with your oscilloscope on your system; and
•
Configure a panel and layout in InstrumentStudio to include your oscilloscope.
Note
InstrumentStudio Manual at ni.com/manuals.
The following equipment is required for this procedure:
If using the Oscilloscope Probe
Compensator
If connecting the probe directly to
the oscilloscope PFI
The PXIe-5163 can output a 1 kHz square wave that you can use to compensate passive
probes.
To compensate a passive probe, complete the following steps:
1.
Connect the BNC end of the probe to an input channel of your oscilloscope.
