15. Set the calibration generator for 10 V output. Set the attenuation
button on the probe to 50X (in).
16. Record the DC amplitude of t he square wave (∼10V) and divide
1/100
th
of this into only the amplitude of the oscilloscope (refer
to step 6). Verify that only the probe gain accuracy is ᐔ3%.
17. Reduce the amplitude on the generator to minimum then disable
the generat or output, leaving the setup connected for the next
procedure.
Bandwidth
1. Connect the Modified BNC adapter t hrough a 50 Ω terminator to
the leveled sine wave output of the generator (AUX, Sine,
50 Ω load).
WARNING. To reduce the risk of electric shock, ensure the gene rator
output is disabled before modifying/disconnecting test setup or
connect ions since exposed met al may at a hazardous potential. It is
recommended t hat t he generator output amplitude be reduced to
minimum prior to disabling t he output.
2. Attach the differential probe input leads (without attachme nt
accessories) by sliding the banana plug of the leads onto the
binding posts m etal sleeves on the Modified BNC adapter (see
Figure 13 on page 31).
3. Set the bandwidth on t he probe to FULL and the attenuation
button to 50X.
4. Set the Volts/Division on channel 1 of the oscilloscope to
500 mV, a nd sec/div to 20 s. Set the trace to the center of the
oscilloscope.
5. Reduce the amplitude on the generat or to minimum then enable
the output.
6. Set the sine wave generator to 50 kHz, and adjust the amplitude
to 3.00 V as measured on the oscilloscope.
