Equipment Setup
Use this procedure to set up the equipment to test the probe.
1. Connect the probe to the oscilloscope.
2. Connect a Y-lead adapter with KlipChip adapters attached to the
P6249.
3. Turn on the oscilloscope and enable the channel.
4. Allow 30 minutes for the equipment to warm up.
NOTE. If your oscilloscope has a probe calibration routine, run it
before making any of the following checks. However, certain
firmware versions of TDS series oscilloscopes will return a Probe Cal
Failed message. If this occurs, see Probe Calibration Errors on
page 16 for more information.
