To Adjust Offset Voltage
RIGOL DS6000/DS4000 series oscilloscope can provide offset voltage to the
RP7000S series single-ended active probe. The offset voltage adjusts the
measured signal which exceeds the input dynamic range of the probe within an
appropriate range to ensure the measured signal’s integrity.
You can adjust the offset voltage by operating the front panel menu of the
oscilloscope and the operation method is as shown below.
1. Connect the RP7000S series si n gle-ended active probe to the channel
input terminal (such as CH1) of the DS6000/DS4000 oscilloscope,
referring to To Connect to the Oscilloscope.
2. Open the probe offset voltage control menu of the DS6000/DS4000
oscilloscope (front panel operation: CH1 Probe Bias Volta ge) and
rotate the knob to adjust the value.
To Calibrate the Probe
Before using RP7000S series single-ended active pro be, you can calibrate it
using the PCK100 active probe calibration kit. The calibration procedures are
shown as below:
1. Connect one BNC-SMA connector to the calibration board and the female
BNC of the cable respectively and then connect the other BNC-SMA
connector to the other part of the calibration board (called part 1).
2. Connect the RP7000S active probe to the analog channel (CH1 to CH4 of
the oscilloscope, illustrations here are based on CH1).
14 RP7000S User’s Guide
RIGOL
3. Open the probe calibration control menu (front panel operation: CH1
Probe Probe-Cal). At this point, calibration prompt message is
displayed in the user interface of the oscilloscope. Follow th e pro m pt
message to connect part 1 to the oscilloscope. Generally, connect the BNC
(male) of the connector to the corresponding analog channel and the male
BNC of the cable to the [Trig Out/Calibration] port at the rear panel of
the oscilloscope.
4. Adjust the spacing between the probe tip and the ground collar so as to
connect the probe tip to the middle signal line on the calibration board and
the ground collar to the both sides of the middle signal line. Note: it is
recommended to place the probe tip at the middle of the calibrat ion boa rd.
5. Press Start and the oscilloscope starts to calibrate the probe. The
calibration will last for about 40 to 50 seconds. When probe calibration
finished, “Probe calibration finished!” or “Probe calibration failure!” is
displayed in the user interface of the oscilloscope. Note: to ensure the
calibration precision, the probe tips must be firmly connected to the
calibration board duri n g th e calibration.
Note: Relative specifications of the RP7000S series single-ended active probe
depend on the calibration operation. After the calibration is finished, the DC
gain, offset voltage zero and offset gain will be calibrated. User can query the
information about the manufacturer, model, serial number and the last
calibration time of the probe through CH1 Probe Probe Info.
