Operating information
The TPP0502 2X Passive Probe is a high impedance probe with
2X attenuation that is designed for use with Tektronix FlexChannel™
and MDO3000, MDO/MSO/DPO4000B, MSO/DPO5000 series ground-
referenced oscilloscopes.
Connect the probe as shown in the illustrations below.
Compensating the probe
You should compensate the probe after you attach it to an oscilloscope
for the first time, or after you have changed the probe tip cartridge.
1. Connect the probe to an oscilloscope channel.
2. Connect the probe tip and ground to the probe compensation
terminals on the oscilloscope.
When using the MMCX tip (206-0666-xx), the following part numbers
are required to connect the tip to the Probe Comp connections:
131-9717-xx (1), 196-3434-xx (1), and 206-0569-xx (2). See
Connecting the MMCX tip to the oscilloscope Probe Comp.
3. On FlexChannel™ instruments:
a. Double tap the Channel Badge for the connected probe.
b. Select the Probe Setup.
c. Select Compensate Probe.
d. Select Compensate Probe in the pop-up window.
4. On MSO/DPO5000 instruments:
a. Select Vertical > Probe Cal....
b. Select the tab of the channel for the connected probe.
c. In the Calibration section, click Calibrate Probe.
5. On MDO3000 and MDO/MSO/DPO4000B instruments:
a. Press the Channel Menu front panel button for the channel that
you connected the probe to.
b. Push the More button until Probe Setup is selected.
c. Push the Calibrate Probe button and follow the on-screen
instructions.
If the probe compensation fails, verify that the signal and ground
connections are secure at the Probe Comp connections on the
oscilloscope. Also check that the ground connection is secure at the
probe head, the rigid, MMCX, or pogo tip is secured tightly in the probe
head, and the hook tip is securely connected to the tip.

to prevent shorting the probe tip
between IC pins. Snap the cap onto
the probe tip, and then spin the cap
to expose the probe tip toward the IC
lead.

Ground springs: To limit aberrations
on high frequency signals caused
by ground path inductance,bend
the spring to reach nearby ground

Interchanging the probe tip
For optimal performance, do a probe compensation after the tip has been
replaced.
Only use tips with the light red-colored tail section for the TPP0502
probe; other tips will degrade performance.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock, disconnect the probe
before changing the probe tips.
