Features and
Controls
Sensitivity Control — The P6022 termination has a control that allows you
to select probe sensitivity. The switch has two positions: 1 mA/mV and
10 mA/mV. When the control is in the 1 mA/mV position, the oscilloscope
displays 1
mV for every 1 mA of current in the circuit under test. When the
control is in the 10 mA/mV position, the oscilloscope displays 1 mV for every
10 mA of current in the circuit under test.
You can set vertical scale o n the oscilloscope to any scale factor, as determined
by the signal amplitude. To calculate the overall vertical scale factor for the
oscilloscope, probe, and termination, multiply the termination sensitivity
control setting by the vertical scale factor of the oscilloscope. For example, if
the termination control is set to the 10 mA/mV position, and the oscilloscope
to a ver
tical scale of 20 mV/division, the overall scale factor is 10 X 20, or
200 mA/division.
ProbeSlideSwitch— The slide switch o n the probe has three positions:
open, closed, and locked. Use your thumb to m ove the probe slide switch.
The switch is spring-loaded so that it automatically moves from the open to
closed positions.
