Operating Information
The P5100A Probe is a high impedance probe with
100X attenuation that is designed for use with Tektronix
ground-referenced oscilloscopes.
Connect the probe as shown in the illustrations below.
Compensating the Probe
Due to variations in oscilloscope input characteristics,
the low-frequency compensation of the probe may need
adjustment after you move the probe from one oscilloscope
channel to another.
1.
Connect the probe to the oscilloscope channel that you
plan to use for your measurements.
2.
Connect the probe to the probe compensation output
terminals on the oscilloscope front panel.
WARNING.
To avoid electric shock, only connect to the
Probe Comp signal on the oscilloscope when making
this adjustment. To avoid electric shock, only use the
insulated adjustment tool when making compensation
adjustments.
3.
Push AUTOSET or otherwise adjust your oscilloscope
to display a stable waveform.
4.
Adjust the trimmer in the probe until you see a perfectly
at-top square wave on the display. (See illustration.)
Standard Accessories
The probe includes the accessories shown below.
WARNING.
To avoid electric shock when using the probe
or accessories, keep your ngers behind the nger
