Calibration Tests and Adjustment
Adjustment Procedure
High Frequency Compensation
This adjustment sequence continues from the Low Frequency Response and CMRR
adjustment. However, it can be done separately if the probe meets all specifications
except bandwidth. Adjust R13 for unity gain at 200 MHz.
1Connect the signal generator to the test board and set it for 200 MHz and
300mVp-p (107 mVrms).
2Carefully connect the input of the probe to the test board in the position shown
in the figure below (signal to + input).

Signal to + input
3Press AUTOSCALE, then measure the peak-to-peak voltage on channel 1
(Press SHIFT (blue), press V P-P, then press 1).
4Adjust R13 (HF COMP) to make the signal amplitude measurement on the
oscilloscope 300 mVp-p, or as close to that as possible. Adjust slowly and press
CLEAR DISPLAY frequently to restart averaging.

R13 Adjustment
The minimum allowable amplitude is 212 mVp-p. Typical values will be between 275 and
325 mVp-p. the probe needs repair if the minimum cannot be reached.
Probe Reassembly
1Disconnect the probe power cable at the rear panel of the 1142A
2Remove the probe PC assembly from the test board. Be sure the probe input
connectors remain attached to the probe.
3Remove the grounding screw and ground block from the PC assembly.
