NOTE. The Probe Check Wizard is useful for 1X, 10X, 20X, 50X, and 100X

probes. It the Ext Trig BNC.

To comp steps:

1. Conne

is not useful for 500X or 1000X probes, or for probes connected to

en the process is complete, the Probe C heck Wizard restores the

2. Push the PROBE CHECK button and follow the directions on the screen.

3. After you verify that the probe functions and is compensated properly, connect

the probe to the Ext Trig BNC.

the TPP0101/TPP0201 probe to channel 1 on the oscilloscope. If you use the probe hook-tip, ensure a proper connection by ﬁrmly inserting the tip onto the probe.

2. AttachtheprobetiptothePROBECOMP ~5V@1kHz terminal and the reference lead to the PROBE COMP chassis terminal. Display the channel, and then push the AutoSet button.

Probes are available with various attenuation factors which affect the vertical scale of the signal. The Probe Check Wizard veriﬁes that the attenuation factor

the oscilloscope matches the probe.

As an alternative method to Probe Check, you can manually select the factor

If you change th the oscilloscope Attenuation option to match. Switch settings are 1X and 10X.

NOTE. When the Attenuation switch is set to 1X, the P2220 probe limits the

bandwidth of the oscilloscope to 6 MHz. To use the full bandwidth of the oscilloscope, be sure to set the switch to 10X.

Current probes provide a voltage signal proportional to the current. You need to set the oscilloscope to match the scale of your current probe. The default scale is 10 A/V.

For example, to set the scale for a current probe connected to CH 1, push the 1 ►

Self Calibration

elf calibration routine lets you optimize the oscilloscope signal path for

The s maximum measurement accuracy. You can run the routine at any time but you should always run the routine if the ambient temperature changes by 5 °C (9 °F) or more. The routine takes about two minutes.

For accurate calibration, power on the oscilloscope and wait twenty minutes to ensure it is warmed up.

To compensate the signal path, disconnect any probes or cables from the input connectors. Then, access the Utility ► Do Self Cal option, and follow the directions on the screen.
