Operating information
The Tektronix TIVP IsoVu™ Measurement System offers a
completely galvanically isolated (optical isolation) system.
Isolation is used to greatly increase the accuracy of differential
measurements with rapidly slewing reference voltages and to
isolate hazardous voltages from the oscilloscope.
The TIVP is designed for use with Tektronix 4/5/6 Series MSO
Oscilloscopes running software version 1.28 or higher.

The probe compensation box is near its maximum
operating temperature. Additional cooling, such as
an external fan, may be required.
Compensating the probe
The TIVP contains a self-calibration routine that corrects
Gain Accuracy, DC offset, and frequency response. These
parameters change as the probe warms up to its operating
temperature and remain constant once the temperature reaches
steady-state. An indicator LED on the probe compensation
box and the SELFCAL:STATE? PI command both indicate
whether a self-calibration is RECOMMENDED, RUNNING,
or PASSED.
Before making critical measurements, run SELF CAL to
ensure the TIVP is compensated. The sensor tip does not need
to be removed from the test point to successfully complete
a self-calibration.
1. Connect TIVP to an oscilloscope channel.
2. Press the SELF CAL button on the probe compensation
box. Alternatively, send the CH<x>:PROBE:SELFCAL
EXECUTE PI command to start the self-calibration
programmatically.
The SELF CAL LED will blink while the
self-calibration is in process.
The SELF CAL LED is amber when there is a change
and a self-calibration is recommended. The LED is
green if the last self-calibration is still valid.
Cable handlin g
Tektronix TIVP probes operate using several optical fibers
within a single cable between the compensation box and probe
head. Therefore, standard optical fiber handling practices
are required. Avoid tight radius bends, crushing, crimping,
twisting, or otherwise stressing the fiber.

Pollution degree d escriptions
A measure of the contaminants that could occur in the
environment around and within a product. Typically the
internal environment inside a product is considered to be the
same as the external. Products should be used only in the
environment for which they are rated.
Pollution degree 1. No pollution or only dry,
nonconductive pollution occurs. Products in this category
are generally encapsulated, hermetically sealed, or located
in clean rooms.
Pollution degree 2. Normally only dry, nonconductive
pollution occurs. Occasionally a temporary conductivity
that is caused by condensation must be expected. This
location is a typical office/home environment. Temporary
condensation occurs only when the product is out of
service.
Pollution degree 3. Conductive pollution, or dry,
nonconductive pollution that becomes conductive due
to condensation. These are sheltered locations where
neither temperature nor humidity is controlled. The area is
protected from direct sunshine, rain, or direct wind.
Pollution degree 4. Pollution that generates persistent
conductivity through conductive dust, rain, or snow.
Typical outdoor locations.
Pollution degree rating
Pollution degree 2 (as defined in IEC 61010-1). Rated for
indoor, dry location use only.
IP rating
IP20 (as defined in IEC 60529).
Measurement and overvoltage category descriptions
Measurement terminals on this product may be rated for
measuring mains voltages from one or more of the following
categories (see specific ratings marked on the product and in
the manual).
Category I. Circuits not directly connected to a mains
supply.
Category II. Circuits directly connected to the building
wiring at utilization points (socket outlets and similar
points).
Category III. In the building wiring and distribution
system.
Category IV. At the source of the electrical supply to the
building.
NOTE. Only measurement circuits have a measurement
category rating. Other circuits within the product do not have
either rating.
