Cleaning
Inspect the oscilloscope and probes as often as operating conditions require. To clean the exterior surface, perform the following
steps:
1. Remove loose dust on the outside of the oscilloscope and probes with a lint-free cloth. Use care to avoid scratching the clear
glass display filter.
2. Use a soft cloth dampened with water to clean the oscilloscope. Use an aqueous solution of 75% isopropyl alcohol for
more efficient cleaning.
CAUTION. To avoid damage to the surface of the oscilloscope or probes, do not use an y abrasive or chemical cleaning agents.
12 DPO3000 Series Oscilloscopes User Ma nual
Connecting Probes
The oscilloscope supports probes with the following:
1. Tektronix Versatile Probe Interface
(TekVPI)
These probes support t wo-wa y
communication with the oscilloscope
through on-screen menus and remotely
through programmable support. The
remote control is useful in applications like
ATE where you want the system to preset
probe parameters.
2. TPA-BNC Adapter
The TPA-BNC Adapter allows you to use
TEKPROBE II probe capabilities, such as
providing probe power, and p assing scaling
and unit information to the oscilloscope.
Installation
DPO3000 Series Oscilloscopes User Manual 13
Installation
3. Plain BNC Interfaces
Some of these use TEKPROBE capabilities
to pass the waveform signal and scaling
to the oscilloscope. Some only pass the
signal and there is no other communication.
For more information on the many probes available for use with DPO3000 series oscilloscopes, refer to www.tektronix.com.
