Connecting the Probe to Your Circuit

Attach the probe to the circuit using the connectors and adapters
shown on the back of these instructions. Select the best method
for your needs, and then proceed to Setting up the Probe.

Setting up the Probe

Press the D15-D0 button to set and view the following
parameters of each digital channel:

Threshold voltage and vertical position

Signal height (set once for all 16 channels)

Channel label

The default settings are 1.4 V thresholds with no channel labels.

Use the B1 and B2 buttons to set and view bus characteristics
such as:

Clock type

Bus type (Serial or Parallel)

Bus width

Display format (Hex, Binary, ASCII)

Safety Summ ar y

Connect and Disconnect Properly. Connect the probe output

to the measurement instrument before connecting the probe
to the circuit under test. Disconnect the probe input and the
probe ground from the circuit under test before disconnecting
the probe from the measurement instrument.

Product Description

The P6316 digital probe connects the Tektronix MSO2000
Series of mixed-signal oscilloscopes to digital buses and signals
on your target system. The probe breaks out 16 data channels
over two 2x8-pin headers (GROUP 1 and GRO UP 2). Each
header includes eight signals on one row and eight grounds
along the opposite row.

A pair of interchangable flying lead sets are included with the
probe. The lead sets bring out one ground connectio
end and eight signal leads for connecting to individual test
points.

n on each

Parallel bus setup information is resident on the MSO Family
of oscilloscopes. However, for other buses such as CAN and
I2C, you must have the appropriate application key. See your
oscilloscope manual or product data sheet for nomenclature
and ordering details.

Functional Check

Logic activity immediately displays on all c onnected, active
channels. If you do not see an active signal:

1. Press Trigger.

2. Select Edge for trigger type.

3. Select the channel that you are setting up as the source.

4. Press Aut

oset.

If you do not see an active signal, try another probe channel (or
analog probe) to verify circuit activity at the test point.

Typical A pplication

1. Use the P6316 probe to view digital signals on a system
bus.

2. Use analog probes, such as the P6139A or P2221 probes
to view analog waveform information.

Connecting the Probe to the Oscilloscope

Connect the probe as shown in the illustration below.

1. Insert the probe label-side up into the receptacle.

2. To remove the probe, squeeze the buttons on the side and

pull out the probe.
