  • Page 7: Operating Basics

    Operating Basics The P6136 probe is a 350 MHz, 10X, 1.3 meter, passive voltage probe designed specifically for use with Tektronix 2400 Series oscilloscopes having bandwidths greater than 150 MHz. The P6136 comes standard with the Tektronix subminia- ture-size probe tip/hybrid assembly and is fully compatible with the Tektronix Subminiature family of accessories.

    This greatly degrades rise time, bandwidth, and transient accuracy as shown in Figure 2. Figure 2: Typical step response with six-inch ground lead For best results, ensure that ground-lead inductance is at a minimum. Two methods for doing so are the Low-Inductance Ground Lead and the Klipkit. P6136 Instruction Manual...
  • Page 9 Operating Basics Low-Inductance Ground The low-inductance ground lead provided with all Tektronix P6136 probes Lead allows for a substantial reduction in ground-lead inductance, approximately 32 nH instead of 150 nH. To install the low-inductance ground lead, refer to Figure 3 and perform the following steps: 1.

    To avoid electrical shock, do not disassemble or maintain the probe while it is connected to a signal source other than those specified in this procedure. Adjustment Procedure This section contains procedures to adjust the P6136 probe. Always perform the low-frequency compensation adjustment before proceeding to the high-frequency compensation adjustment.
  • Page 16 Low-Frequency To adjust the probe low-frequency compensation do the following: Compensation 1. Connect the P6136 probe to the oscilloscope CH 1 input. Adjustment 2. Set the oscilloscope controls for 100 mV (includes probe 10X attenuation), 1 ms, and DC coupling.
  • Page 17 5. Note the system aberrations for comparison in step 10 below. 6. Remove the precision coax cable from the test setup. 7. Connect the P6136 probe to the oscilloscope CH 1 input. 8. Connect the probe tip through the probe-tip-to-BNC adapter and a 50 termination to the positive-going fast-rise output of the calibration generator.
  • Page 18 18. Disconnect the test setup. Bandwidth Check To check the probe bandwidth do the following: 1. Connect the P6136 probe output to the oscilloscope CH 1 input. 2. Connect the probe tip through the 50 adapters and BNC cable to the output of the leveled sine wave generator (as described in the High- Frequency Compensation procedure above).

    5ns/div. Figure 10: Effects of high-frequency adjustments on waveform Maintenance Use the following procedures to clean and maintain the P6136 probe. Cleaning To remove accumulated dirt from the probe exterior, use a soft cloth dampened with a nonresidue cleaner, preferably isopropyl alcohol. In particular, avoid solvents such as benzene, toluene, xylene, or acetone.
