Attenuator Adapter Adjustment
Adjustment Procedure
NOTE The attenuator must be adjusted when installed on the 1141A probe with which it will
be used. The specifications and characteristics will not be met if the attenuator adapter
is adjusted with one differential probe then used with another.
1Remove the probe pins from the attenuator adapter and differential probe, then
attach the adapter to the probe.
2Set the 1142A front panel switches to Local and Zero offset.
3Use the 9-inch BNC cable to connect the function generator to the test board.
The short cable minimized ground-loop voltages.
4Set up the function generator.

3.0 Vp-p for 10x adapter and 16 Vp-p for a 100x adapter.
5Use the long BNC cable to connect the Trig Out of the function generator to
the EXT TRIG of the oscilloscope.
6Set up the oscilloscope, then set the following parameters.
