Calibrating the TekConnect Probe Interface M odule
The 80A03 TekConnect Probe Interface Module requires no internal calibration.
However, after installing any sampling module, you should run a compensation
procedure from your mainframe. This ensures that the entire test system meets
warranted accuracy specifications with the TekConnect interface and probe
attached. Refer to your sampling module, probe, and mainframe documentation
for specific calibration procedures.

Use the following procedures to set up the 80A03 TekConnect Probe Interface
Module to trigger and view signals on your mainframe.
The TekConnect Probe Interface Module supports many models of TekConnect
probes. Since the trigger bandwidth limit is determined by the probe bandwidth
and mainframe trigger capability, some probes may be more suitable than others
to your measurement needs.
Your mainframe provides two trigger inputs you can use with external probes,
direct or prescaled. When selecting an input, you should consider the frequency
of the signal being measured. The bandwidth specification of the measurement
probe must also meet or exceed that of the signal being measured.
In addition, consider the following factors when setting up equipment to take
measurements:
The mainframe trigger sensitivity relative to the amplitude of the signal
being measured.
The probe scale factor.
The attenuation factor of the power divider used, if you choose to view signals
on the mainframe following the trigger.
NOTE. Refer to your mainframe documentation for direct and prescaled trigger
specifications.

NOTE. Do not connect any other accessory to the mainframe Trigger Probe

purpose while using this setup. Doing so may cause confusion that can lead
to measurement errors.
Figure 11: Setup for triggering the mainframe using the 80A03 TekConnect Probe
Interface Module
The mainframe responds to the CH A probe as though it were connected to the
vertical sampling channel:
The Trigger probe is serviced and controlled by the mainframe CH B vertical
channel controls.
The probe scale is not refl ected in any trigger level settings assigned by the
trigger setup menu.
The offset control for the vertical channel adjusts the probe offset (if
equipped).
The sampling module offset control is disabled.
You can view probe characteristics in the system properties menu for the
measurement channel.
If you use the mainframe Trigger Direct input, it is recommended that you set
the trigger level to 0 volts and control the trigger level by directly assigning the
vertical offset for the probe at the probe tip. Because the offset control in the
probe affects the signal level at its output, this method of vertical offset adjustment
provides calibrated trigger level operation.
To operate the o ffset control as a trigger level adjustment, rotate the offset adjust
on CH B. This will control the offset at the probe tip so you can read the trigger
level directly from the offset indicator on the mainframe. (See Figure 12.)
NOTE. Rotation of the control knob for this configuration is reversed. Clockwise
rotation introduces a negative offset adjustment, which provides a negative
trigger level. Counterclockwise rotation introduces a positive offset and a positive

in the probe affects the signal level at its output, this method of vertical offset
adjustment provides calibrated trigger level operation.
To operate the offset control as a trigger level adjustment, rotate the offset
adjustment on the sampling module channel that has the probe output
disconnected. This will control the offset at the probe tip and you can read the
trigger level directly from the offset indicator on the mainframe. (See Figure 12
on page 21.)
