THP0301 10X Probe
The THP0301 Probe is a passive voltage probe with
10X attenuation and a compensation range of 10 to
22 pF. The probe is designed for use with Tektronix
THS3000 series handheld oscilloscopes, and is available
in four colors that match the oscilloscope input channel
colors. (Order THP0301–Y for yellow, –G for green, –M
for magenta, and –B for blue.) The probe has no user- or
Tektronix-serviceable parts.
Connecting the Probe to the Oscilloscope
Connect the probe as shown in the illustrations below.
Compensating the Probe
Due to variations in oscilloscope input characteristics,
the low-frequency compensation of the probe may need
adjustment after moving the probe from one oscilloscope
channel to another.
If a 1 kHz calibrated square wave displayed at 1 ms/division
shows significant differences between the leading and
trailing edges, perform the following steps to optimize
low-frequency compensation:
1.
Connect the probe to the oscilloscope channel that you
plan to use for your measurements.
2.
Connect the probe to the probe compensation output
terminals located above the USB port on the left side
of the instrument.
WARNING.

this adjustment.

3.
Press the Ch button for the channel that you are using,
and then use the arrow and Enter keys to set the probe
attenuation to 10X.
4.
Return to the probe menu and select PROBE CAL
and Yes to display the rising edge of the calibration
waveform.
For instruments other than the THS3000 series,
NOTE.
push AUTOSET or otherwise adjust your oscilloscope to
display a stable waveform.
5.
Adjust the trimmer in the probe until you see a perfectly
flat-top square wave on the display. (See illustrations.)

To avoid electric shock, only use the
insulated adjustment tool when making compensation
adjustments.
Connecting the Probe to the Circuit
Use the standard accessories included with the probe to
connect to your circuit. (See Table 1.)
WARNIN G.
To avoid electric shock when using the probe
or accessories, keep fingers behind the finger guard of
probe body & accessories (as shown).
To reduce risk of shock, when using the probe on floating
measurements, ensure the reference lead accessories are
fully mated before connecting the probe to the circuit
under test.
Standard Accessories
The standard accessories included with the probe are
shown below, and can be reordered together as a kit. Order

Safety Summary
Review the following safety precautions to avoid injury and
prevent damage to this product or any products connected
to it. To avoid potential hazards, use this product only as
specified. Using the probe or accessories in a manner not
specified could result in a shock or fire hazard.
To Avoid Fire or Personal Injury
For Use With THS3000 Series Oscilloscopes Only.
Do not
float the reference lead of this probe above the rated float
voltage (300 V RMS CAT III).
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 reference lead from the circuit under test before
disconnecting the probe from the measurement instrument.
Avoid Electric Shock.
To avoid injury or loss of life, do not
connect or disconnect probes or test leads while they are
connected to a voltage source.
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.
Avoid Electric Shock.
When using probe accessories, never
exceed the lowest rating of the probe or its accessory,
whichever is less, including the measurement category and
voltage rating.
Avoid Electric Overload.
To avoid injury or fire hazard, do
not apply potential to any input, including the reference
inputs, that varies from ground by more than the maximum
rating for that input.
Avoid Exposed Circuitry and Do not Operate Without
Covers.
Do not touch exposed connections and components
when power is present.
Inspect The Probe and Accessories.
Before each use,
inspect probe and accessories for damage (cuts, tears,
defects in the probe body, accessories, cable jacket, etc.).
