Triggering the Oscilloscope

4

 

When you connect an AutoProbe self-sensing probe, the

 

oscilloscope will automatically configure your probe to the

 

correct attenuation factor. Note that the AutoProbe feature is

 

not available on 100 MHz bandwidth models.

 

The probe correction factor must be set properly for

 

measurements to be made correctly.

 

Range The input voltage range can be set to 1.0 Volts or 8.0

 

Volts. When in current mode, the range is fixed at 1.0 Amps.

 

Range is automatically scaled according to the probe’s

 

attenuation factor.

 

Maximum input voltage for the external trigger input of the

 

2-channel oscilloscope:

 

Maximum input voltage for external trigger (2-channel oscilloscopes)

C A U T I O N

CAT I 300 Vrms, 400 Vpk; transient overvoltage 1.6 kVpk

 

 

CAT II 100 Vrms, 400 Vpk

 

with 10073C or 10074C 10:1 probe: CAT I 500 Vpk, CAT II 400 Vpk

 

 

 

Do not exceed 5 Vrms in 50 Ω mode. Input protection is enabled in

C A U T I O N

50 Ω mode and the 50 Ω load will disconnect if greater than 5 Vrms is

 

 

detected. However the input could still be damaged, depending on the

 

time constant of the signal. The 50 Ω input protection mode only

 

functions when the oscilloscope is powered on.

 

 

Input Impedance The 300 MHz, 500 MHz, and 1 GHz bandwidth 2-channel oscilloscopes have selectable external trigger input impedance. The impedance can be set to either 1M Ohm or

50 Ohm by pressing the Imped softkey. The input impedance of 100 MHz bandwidth models is fixed at 1M Ω .

•50 Ohm mode matches 50-ohm cables commonly used in making high frequency measurements. This impedance matching gives you the most accurate measurements since reflections are minimized along the signal path.
