Cleaning
Inspect the oscilloscope and probes as often as operating conditions require. To clean the exterior surface, perform the
following steps:
1. Remove loose dust on the outside of the oscilloscope and probes with a lint-free cloth. Use care to avoid scratching
the display.
2. Use a soft cloth dampened with water to clean the oscilloscope. Use an aqueous solution of 75% isopropyl alcohol
for more efficient cleaning.
CAUTION. Avoid getting moisture inside the unit during external cleaning. Use only enough cleaning solution to dampen
the cloth or swab.
CAUTION. To avoid damage to the surface of the oscilloscope or probes, do not use any abrasive or c hemical cleaning
agents.
Connecting Probes
The oscilloscope supports probes with the following:
1. Tektronix Versatile Probe Interface
(TekVPI)
These probes support two-way
communication with the oscilloscope
through on-screen menus and remotely
through programmable support. The
remote control is useful in applications
like ATE where you want the system to
preset probe parameters.
2. Tektronix Versatile Probe Interface
(TekVPI) for Passive Probes
These probes build upon the functionality
of the TekVPI interface. Each probe
is matched with its corresponding
oscilloscope channel, allowing the
oscilloscope to optimize the signal input
path. This provides AC compensation
across the frequency band.
