Oscilloscope Overview
Most active probes match probe to oscilloscope response automatically using probe response data stored
in an on-board EEPROM. This ensures the best possible combined probe plus oscilloscope channel
frequency response without the need to perform any de-embedding procedure.
Be aware that many active probes require a minimum oscilloscope firmware version to be fully
operational. See the probe documentation.
Digital Leadset
The digital leadset provided with Mixed Signal model
oscilloscopes enables input of up-to-16 lines of digital
data. Physical lines can be preconfigured into different
logical groups corresponding to a bus and renamed
appropriately depending on the group.
The digital leadset features two digital banks with
separate Threshold controls, making it possible to
simultaneously view data from different logic families.
Initially, logical lines are numbered the same as the
physical lead they represent, but any line number can be
re-assigned to any lead on the Digital setup dialogs.
Connecting/Disconnecting the Leadset
The digital leadset connects to the Mixed Signal interface on the front of the instrument.
To connect the leadset to the instrument, push the connector into the Mixed Signal interface below the
front panel until you hear a click.
To remove the leadset, press and hold the buttons on each side of the connector, then pull out to release.
Grounding Leads
Each flying lead has a signal and a ground connection. A variety of ground extenders and flying ground
leads are available for different probing needs.
To achieve optimal signal integrity, connect the ground at the tip of the flying lead for each input used in
your measurements. Use either the provided ground extenders or ground flying leads to make the ground
connection.
