Logic Probe

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 go to Setting up the Probe.

Setting up the probe

The oscilloscope automatically dete cts and configures channels
when you connect a logic probe.

To set and view the digital channel parameters, add the channel
with the connected logic probe to the display. Double-tap
the Waveform badge for the logic probe channel t o open the
configuration menu. Digital c hannel settings include threshold
voltage (default is 1.4 V), signal height (for all channels), and
channel labels.

Using the probe

See the oscilloscope documentation and Help topics for how to
display and trigger on digital logic signals and buses.

Product description

The TLP058 FlexChannel®logic probe connects the Tektronix
5 Series Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes (MSO54, MSO56,
MSO58, MSO58LP) to digital buses and signals on your
device under test (DUT). The probe contains 8 data channels.
You can connect the TLP058 logic probe to any FlexChannel
oscilloscope input channel.

All leads include a ground connection at the tip. You can
connect the probe leads separately to the target system, or group
the leads together using the probe tip holder.

Functional check

Follow the instructions for connecting the probe to the
oscilloscope and setting up the probe. Connect your probe
leads to active logic signals on your DUT. You should see logic
activity immediately on all connected, active channels. If you
do not see an active signal, use an analog probe to verify signal
activity on the logic signal points.

Typical application

Safety summary

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 measurem ent instrument.

Observe all terminal ratings. To avoid fire or shock hazard,
observe all ratings and markings on the product. Consult the
product manual for further ratings information before making
connections to the product. Connect the probe reference lead to
earth ground only.

Do not operate without covers.

Avoid exposed circuitry. Do not touch exposed connections

and components when power is present.

Do not o perate with suspected failures. If you suspect there is
damage to this product, have it inspected by qualified service
personnel.

Do not operate in wet/damp conditions.

Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere.

Keep product surfaces clean and dry.

Safety terms and symbols in this manual.

These t erms may appear in this manual:

WARNING. Warning statements identify conditions or

practices that could result in injury or loss of life.

Connecting the probe to the oscilloscope

1. Move the locking lever to the unlocked position then let
go to reset locking lever to the center position.

2. Insert the probe into a FlexChannel channel until fully
seated and the lock mechanism clicks.

3. Mov

e the locking lever to the locked position. The status

light should be a solid green.

E. It is normal for the logic probe Status light to flash

NOT

green when the oscilloscope is powering on, and will turn to a

ady green once the oscilloscope is fully running.

ste

NOTE. If the status LED continues flashing green, flashing

, or is a steady red, contact Tektronix Customer Support

red
for assistance.

4. To r

emove the probe, move and hold the locking lever at

the unlocked position and pull out the probe.

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

2. Use an analog probe to view analog waveform information

of a digital signal.

Accessories

The probe comes standard with a Logic Probe Accessory Kit
(Tektronix part number 020-31

70-XX). See the illustration on
the following page. See the label in the accessories box lid for
