Installation

Connecting to the Host Instrument

WARNING. Your TekVPI instrument may

require a ﬁrmware upgrade to support full functionality of the TDP0500 and TDP1000 probes. Before you connect the probe, check the version re quirements. (See page 45, Host Instrument Firmware.)

1. Slide the probe into the TekVPI receptacle. The probe snaps when fully engaged.

When you connect the probe, the host instrument reads information from the probe and identiﬁes the probe type.

2. To disconnect, press the latch release button and pull away from the instrument.

Probe Controls and Indicators

Range Button and LEDs

When the probe is powered on, all LEDs brieﬂy light d uring the power-on self test routine, and then one of the Range LEDs remains lit. This indicates that the probe is in normal operating mode.

Press the Range button to toggle the range selection. The corresponding LED lights to indicate the selected range.

NOTE. The host instrument sets all probe

settings to the last known state for the probe/channel combination. If none of the Range LEDs are lit, the instrument may have detected an error condition. Disconnect and reconnect th e probe to clear the error.
