Configuration; Probe Offset - Tektronix P6245 Manuel D'utilisation

Configuration

The P6245 provides the oscilloscope with the probe model number,
serial number, and attenuation factor. When connected to a
TEKPROBE oscilloscope, display readouts are corrected for the
probe attenuation factor, the instrument input is set to 50 Ω, and the
coupling is set to DC.
CAUTION. Do not attempt to install the P6245 on a non-TEKPROBE
connector. Damage to the probe and connector may result. If your
oscilloscope does not support the TEKPROBE interface, use the
optional Tektronix 1103 Probe Power Supply.
If the P6245 is used with the Tektronix 1103 Probe Power Supply, be
sure to have a 50 Ω termination at the oscilloscope. Also, set the
oscilloscope channel coupling to DC.
The probe offset control is controlled by the oscilloscope. If the
oscilloscope used does not support the TEKPROBE interface, the
offset controls on the optional Tektronix 1103 Probe Power Supply
can be used.

Probe Offset

The probe offset is adjustable to permit operation within the probe's
linear range. Using the offset to cancel DC signal components
enables optimal probe performance. See Figure 1- - 1 on page 1- - 8.
NOTE. See your oscilloscope manual for specific instructions on its
operation and offset control.
