Operating Information
The TPP0051 10X Passive Probe is a high impedance,
passive probe with 10X attenuation that is designed for use
with the following Tektronix oscilloscopes:
TBS1000B and TBS1000B-EDU oscilloscopes, which
have 20 pF of input capacitance
The probe has no user- or Tektronix-serviceable parts.
WARNING.
Do not float this probe on any oscilloscope
except TPS2000 Series Oscilloscopes.
Do not float the reference lead of this probe to >30 V
RMS
when used with a TPS2000 Series Oscilloscope. Use
either the P5120 or P5150 probes (floatable to 600 V
RMS
CAT II), a similarly-rated passive high voltage probe, or
an appropriately-rated high voltage differential probe
when floating the reference lead above 30 V
RMS
, subject
to the ratings of the high voltage probe used.
Connecting the Probe to the Oscilloscope
Connect the probe as shown in the illustrations below.
Compensating the Probe
Due to variations in oscilloscope input characteristics,
the low-frequency compensation of the probe may need
adjustment after moving the probe from one oscilloscope
channel to another.
If a 1 kHz calibrated square wave displayed at 1 ms/division
shows signi ficant differences between the leading and
trailing edges, perform the following steps to optimize
low-frequency compensation:
1.
Connect the probe to the oscilloscope channel that you
plan to use for your measurements.
2.
Connect the probe to the probe compensation output
terminals on the oscilloscope front panel.
WARNING.
To avoid electric shock, only connect to the
Probe Comp signal on the oscilloscope when making
this adjustment.
3.
Push AUTOSET or otherwise adjust your oscilloscope
to display a stable waveform.
4.
Adjust the trimmer in the probe until you see a perfectly
flat-top square wave on the display. (See illustration.)
WARNING.
To avoid electric shock, only use the
insulated adjustment tool when making compensation
adjustments.
Connecting the Probe to the Circuit
Use the standard accessories included with the probe to
connect to your circuit.
WARNING.
To avoid electric shock when using the probe
or accessories, keep fingers behind the finger guard of
the probe body and accessories.
To reduce risk of shock, ensure the ground lead and
ground spring are fully mated before connecting the
probe to the circuit under test.

number 196-3521-xx
Ground spring
The ground spring
minimizes aberrations
on high-frequency signals
caused by the inductance of
the ground path, giving you
measurements with good
signal fidelity.
Attach the spring to the
ground band on the probe
tip. You can bend the spring
out to ~0.75 in. away from
the signal test point.
