TekVPI probes automatically set the channel input parameters for that probe (bandwidth, attenuation, termination, and so on). If a probe
has a Menu button, push that button to open an on-screen configuration menu. Follow instructions provided with active probes to set their
parameters (auto zero, degauss, and so on).
To connect a TLP058 FlexChannel Logic Probe:
1. Move the locking lever to the unlocked position, then let go to reset locking lever to the center position.
2. Insert the probe into a FlexChannel connector until fully seated and the lock mechanism clicks.
3. Move the locking lever to the locked position. The status light should be a solid green.
4. To disconnect the TLP058 probe, move and hold the locking lever at the unlocked position and pull out the probe. Do not pull on the
ribbon cable while removing the probe.
Connect a BNC probe or cable by pushing it onto a channel BNC bayonet connector and turn the lock mechanism clockwise until it locks.
Note: Connecting a probe does not automatically enable that channel (make it active). Use the instrument controls or
programmatic interface to turn on a channel and open its configuration menu to verify or change probe or cable settings
(bandwidth, attenuation, termination and so on).

1.Acquisition
•Run/Stop starts and stops waveform acquisition. The button color indicates the acquisition status (green = running and
acquiring; red = stopped). When stopped, the oscilloscope shows waveforms from the last completed acquisition. The Run/Stop
button on the screen also shows the acquisition status.
•Cursors
or on a cursor bar (line), to open the configuration menu to set cursor types and functionality.
•Fast Acq™ enables or disables the fast acquisition mode. FastAcq provides high-speed waveform capture that reduces the dead
time between waveform acquisitions, enabling the capture and display of transient events such as glitches and runt pulses. It
is helpful in finding elusive signal anomalies. Fast acquisition mode can also display waveform phenomena at an intensity that
reflects their rate of occurrence.
•Single/Seq enables making a single waveform acquisition, or a specified number of acquisitions (as set in the Acquisition
configuration menu). Pushing Single/Seq turns off Run/Stop mode and takes a single acquisition. The button color indicates the
acquisition status (quick green flash = single acquisition acquired; solid green = waiting for trigger event). Pushing Single/Seq
again takes another single acquisition.

User interface elements
Each area of the user interface has a specific function that helps manage information or controls. This topic shows and describes the key
user interface elements.
1.The Waveform Record View is a graphical high-level view of the overall waveform record length, how much of the record is on the
screen (shown in brackets), the location of key time events including the trigger event, and the current position of waveforms cursors.
If you are displaying a Reference waveform that is shorter than the current acquisition record length, or you are changing the
horizontal time scale while the oscilloscope acquisition is stopped, the brackets change position to show the part of the waveform
record that is being viewed relative to the current acquisition total record length.
If cursors are active on a waveform, the Waveform Record View shows the relative cursor positions as small vertical dashed lines.
When in Zoom mode, the Waveform Record View is replaced with the Zoom Overview. See Zoom user interface on page 37.

Signal Clipping and Badges
Warning: Clipping is caused by excessive or dangerous voltage at the probe tip, and/or a vertical scale setting that is not
adequate to display the entire vertical range of the waveform. Excessive voltage at the probe tip can injure the operator and cause
damage to the probe and/or instrument.
5 Series B Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes MSO54B, MSO56B, MSO58B Quick Start Manual32
Getting acquainted with your instrument
This instrument shows a warning triangle symbol and the words Clipping in a Channel badge when a vertical clipping condition exists. Any
measurement badges associated with that channel also indicate a clipping condition by turning the measurement text red and listing the
type of clipping (positive or negative).
To close the clipping message, change the vertical scale to show the entire waveform, disconnect the probe tip from the excessive voltage
source, and check that you are probing the correct signal using the correct probe.
Clipping causes inaccurate amplitude-related measurement results. Clipping also causes inaccurate amplitude values in saved waveform

Run Signal Path Compensation (SPC)
Run SPC when you first receive an instrument, and at regular intervals, for best measurement accuracy. You should run SPC whenever
the ambient (room) temperature has changed by more than 5 °C (9 °F), or once a week if you use vertical scale settings of 5 mV per
division or less.
Signal Path Compensation (SPC) corrects for DC level inaccuracies in the internal signal path, caused by temperature variations and/or
long-term signal path drift. Failure to run SPC on a regular basis may result in the instrument not meeting warranted performance levels at
low volts per division settings.
Prerequisite: Disconnect all probes and cables from the front-panel channel inputs and rear-panel signal connectors.
1. Power on and warm up the instrument for at least 20 minutes.
2. Tap Utility > Calibration.
3. Tap Run SPC. The SPC Status readout shows Running while SPC is running. SPC can take several minutes per channel to run, sowait until the SPC Status message changes to Pass before reconnecting probes and using the instrument.
CAUTION: You can abort the SPC calibration by tapping Abort SPC. This may leave some channels uncompensated,
resulting in possible inaccurate measurements. If you do abort the SPC, make sure to run the SPC procedure completely
before using the instrument to take measurements.

Compensate the TPP Series probes
Probe compensation adjusts the high frequency response of a probe for best waveform capture and measurement accuracy. The
oscilloscope can automatically test and store compensation values for an unlimited number of probe/channel combinations.
The oscilloscope stores the compensation values for each probe/channel combination, and automatically recalls the compensation values
when you plug in the probe. Probe compensation status is shown in the Probe Setup panel of the Channel configuration menu.
•If the Probe Compensation Status field displays Pass, the probe is compensated and ready for use.
•If the Probe Compensation Status field displays Default, the attached probe has not been compensated and needs to have this probe
compensation procedure run.
•If the Probe Compensation Status field displays Fail, the attached probe has failed the probe compensation procedure. Reconnect the
probe and run probe compensation again.
•If there is no probe compensation status field shown in the panel, the oscilloscope cannot store compensation values for that probe.
See the oscilloscope Help for how to manually compensate passive probes not supported by the probe compensation function.

Configure the instrument
Use this procedure to compensate supported TPP-family probes that show a Default status when connected to the oscilloscope.
Note: Doing a Default Setup does not delete probe compensation values. A factory calibration does delete all stored probe
compensation values.
Prerequisite: The oscilloscope must be powered on for at least 20 minutes before compensating a probe.
1.Connect a supported probe to an input channel.
2.Connect the probe tip and ground lead of the probe to the PROBE COMP terminals on the lower right of the oscilloscope (see
following image).
Connect the probe tip to the 1 kHz source, and the ground clip to the ground. For best results, remove any probe tip accessories and
hold the probe tip directly onto the 1 kHz connector.

7.Tap the Probe Setup panel.
If the Probe Compensation Status says Pass, the probe is already compensated for this channel. You can move the probe to another
channel and start again from step 1, or connect a different probe to this channel and start from step 1.
If the Probe Compensation Status says Default, continue with this procedure.
8.Tap Compensate Probe to open the Probe Compensation dialog.
9.Tap Compensate Probe to run the probe compensation.
10. The probe compensation is finished when the Probe Compensation Status displays Pass. Disconnect the probe tip and ground from
the PROBE COMP terminals.
