Passive Probes Supported

6000 Series Oscilloscope User's Guide
The oscilloscope can accurately calibrate its analog oscilloscope
channels to certain active probes, such as InfiniiMax probes.
Other probes, such as the 10073C and 10074C passive probes,
do not require calibration. The Calibrate Probe softkey will be
grayed-out (displayed in faint text) when a connected probe
does not require calibration.
When you connect a probe that can be calibrated (such as an
InfiniiMax probe), the Calibrate Probe softkey in the channel's
menu will become active. Connect the probe to the Probe Comp
terminal, and the probe ground to the Probe Comp ground
terminal. Press the Calibrate Probe softkey and follow the
instructions on the display.
When calibrating a differential probe, connect the positive lead to the
Probe Comp terminal and the negative lead to the Probe Comp ground
terminal. You may need to connect an alligator clip to the ground lug to
allow a differential probe to span between the Probe Comp test point and
ground. A good ground connection ensures the most accurate probe
calibration.
The following passive probes can be used with the 6000 Series
oscilloscopes. Any combination of passive probes can be used.
