Operating information

The TPP0850 Probe is a high impedance probe with 50X attenuation that is designed for use with Tektronix 4/5/6 Series Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes.

Connect the probe as shown in the illustrations below. Compensate the probe before initial use.



Compensate the TPP Series probes

Probe compensation adjusts the high frequency response of a probe for best waveform capture and measurement accuracy. The oscilloscope can automatically test and store compensation values for an unlimited number of probe/channel combinations.

About this task

The oscilloscope stores the compensation values for each probe/channel combination, and automatically recalls the compensation values when you plug in the probe. Probe compensation status is shown in the Probe Setup panel of the Channel configuration menu.

  • If the Probe Compensation Status field displays Pass, the probe is compensated and ready for use.
  • If the Probe Compensation Status field displays Default, the attached probe has not been compensated and needs to have this probe compensation procedure run.
  • If the Probe Compensation Status field displays Fail, the attached probe has failed the probe compensation procedure. Reconnect the probe and run probe compensation again.
  • If there is no probe compensation status field shown in the panel, the oscilloscope cannot store compensation values for that probe. See the oscilloscope Help for how to manually compensate passive probes not supported by the probe compensation function.

Before you begin

The oscilloscope must be powered on for at least 20 minutes before compensating a probe.

Procedure

Use this procedure to compensate supported TPP-family probes that show a Default status when connected to the oscilloscope.
Note:Doing a Default Setup does not delete probe compensation values. A factory calibration does delete all stored probe compensation values.


  1. Connect a supported probe to an input channel.
  2. Connect the probe tip and ground lead of the probe to the PROBE COMP terminals.
    Note:Connect only one probe at a time to the PROBE COMP terminals.
  3. Turn off all channels.
  4. Turn on the channel to which the probe is connected.
  5. Push the front-panel Autoset button. The screen displays a square wave.
  6. Double-tap the badge of the channel that you want to compensate.
  7. Tap the Probe Setup panel.
    If the Probe Compensation Status says Pass, the probe is already compensated for this channel. You can move the probe to another channel and start again from step 1, or connect a different probe to this channel and start from step 1. If the Probe Compensation Status says Default, continue with this procedure.
  8. Tap Compensate Probe to open the Probe Compensation dialog.
  9. Tap Compensate Probe to run the probe compensation.
  10. The probe compensation is finished when the Probe Compensation Status displays Pass. Disconnect the probe tip and ground from the PROBE COMP terminals.
  11. Repeat these steps for each supported passive probe that you want to compensate for this channel.
  12. Repeat these steps to compensate supported probes on other channels of the oscilloscope.
    Note:For most accurate measurements, open the Probe Setup panel and verify the Probe Compensation Status is Pass whenever you attach a probe to a channel.
