When compensating TPP0250/TPP0500B /TPP1000 probes on the M DO3000 Series oscilloscopes:
Each compensation generates values for a specific probe and channel combination. If you want to use the probe on
another channel and desire to compensate the new probe-channel pair, you must run a new set of compensation steps.
Each channel can store compensation values for 10 individual probes. If you try to compensate an 11th probe on a
channel, the oscilloscope will delete the values for the least recently used probe and add the values for the new probe.
The os cilloscope w
ill assign default compensation values to a TPP0250, TPP0500B or TPP1000 probe connected to
the Aux In channel.
NOTE. A factory calibration will delet e all stored compensation values
NOTE. A probe com
pensation failure is most likely due to intermittent connection of the probe tip or ground connection
during the probe compensation operation. If a failure occurs, the oscilloscope will re-use the old probe compensation values,
if they existed prior to the failed probe compensation operation.
Compensating a non-TPP0250, non -TPP0500B or non-TPP1000 Passive
Voltage Probe
Whenever you attach a passive voltage probe for the fi rst time to any input channel, compensate the probe to match it to
the corresponding oscilloscope input channel.
If you are interested in using the automatic probe compensation procedure described above for the TPP0250, TPP0500
and TPP1000 probes (See page 11, Compensating a TPP0250, TPP0500B or TPP1000 Passive Voltage Probe.). On a
non-TPP0250/TPP0500B/TPP1000 Tektronix passive probe, check the instruction manual for your probe to see if it qualifies.
Otherwise, to properly compensate your passive probe:
1. Follow the steps for the functional
check. (See page 10, Functional
Check.)
