Run SPC 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.

To remotely set this control or run this task on an MSO58LP, see the oscilloscope Programmer Manual (Tektronix part number 077-1305-xx) for the correct command or commands to use.

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 oscilloscope 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 oscilloscope for at least 20 minutes.

2. Tap Utility > Calibration.

Configure the instrument

3. Tap Run SPC. The SPC Status readout shows Running while SPC is running. SPC can take several minutes per channel to run, so wait until the SPC Status message changes to Pass before reconnecting probes and using the oscilloscope.

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.

4. Close the Calibration configuration dialog when SPC has completed.

5. If the SPC fails, write down any error message text. Make sure that all probes and cables are disconnected and run the SPC

again. If the SPC still fails, contact Tektronix Customer Support.

Compensate the TPP0500B or TPP1000 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.

To remotely set this control or run this task on an MSO58LP, see the oscilloscope Programmer Manual (Tektronix part number 077-1305-xx) for the correct command or commands to use.

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.

Use this procedure to compensate a TPP0500B, TPP1000, or other supported TPP-family probe that shows a Default status when connected to the oscilloscope.

NOTE. A Default Setup does not delete probe compensation values. A factory calibration deletes all stored probe compensation values.

MSO58LP Installation and Safety Manual 13

Configure the instrument

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).

Figure 3: Probe Comp connections on the MSO58LP.

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.

NOTE. Connect only one probe at a time to the PROBE COMP terminals.

3. Turn off all channels.

4. Turn on the channel to which the probe is connected.

5. On the MSO58LP, select File > Autoset from the menu bar.

6. Double-tap the badge of the channel that you want to compensate.

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.

The screen displays a square wave.

11. Repeat these steps for each supported passive probe that you want to compensate for this channel.

12. Repeat these steps to compensate supported probes on other channels of the oscilloscope.

NOTE. For most accurate measurements, open the Probe Setup panel and verify the Probe Compensation Status is Pass whenever you attach a probe to a channel.

Connect to a network (LAN)

Connecting to a network allows you to remotely access the instrument.

Work with your network administrator to obtain the required information to connect to your network (IP address, Gateway IP address, Subnet Mask, DNS IP address, and so on).

1. Connect a CAT5 cable from the oscilloscope LAN connector to your network.

2. Select Utility > I/O on the menu bar to open the I/O configuration menu.

3. Obtain or enter the network address information:

■

If your network is DHCP-enabled, and the IP address field does not already show and address, tap Auto to obtain the IP address information from the network. DHCP mode is the default mode.

■

If your network is not DHCP-enabled, or you need a permanent (non-changing) IP address for this instrument, tap

Manual and enter the IP address and other values provided by your IT or system administrator resource.

4. Tap Test Connection to verify that the network connection is working. The LAN Status icon turns green when the

instrument successfully connects to your network. If you have problems connecting to your network, contact your system administration resource for help.

The front panel LAN status LED colors on the MSO58LP display the network status:
