Figure 1: TekConnect Interface Calibration Adapter

The TekConnect Interface Calibration Adapter,
Tektronix part number 067-0422-00, may be
necessary to complete the performance
verification and adjustment procedures for your
TekConnect probe. Refer to your probe manual or
adjustment software for specific instructions on
using the adapter.

The adapter connects between the host instrument
and the probe under test and provides connectors
for probe signal and offset voltage measurements.

When the adapter is connected to the oscilloscope,
the adapter is identified as a valid calibration
device, and the Volts/div readout on the
oscilloscope displays ##. However, additional
power supplies necessary to power the probe are
not enabled until a TekConnect probe is connected
to the adapter and identified by the oscilloscope.
