To Calibrate the Probe
Before using, you can use the PCK1000 active differential probe calibration kit
to calibrate the RP7000 series active probe.Follow the procedures below to
calibrate the RP7000 active probe using this kit:
1. Connect one connector to the calibration board and the female BNC of the
cable respectively and then connect the other connector to the other part
of the calibration board (called part 1).
2. Connect the RP7000 active probe to the analog channel (CH1 to CH4 of
the oscilloscope, illustrations here are based on CH1).
3. Open the probe calibration control menu (front panel operation: CH1
Probe Probe-Cal). At this point, calibration prompt message is
displayed in the user interface of the oscilloscope. Follow the prompt
message to connect part 1 to the oscilloscope. Generally, connect the BNC
(male) of the connector to the corresponding analog channel and the male
BNC of the cable to the [Trig Out/Calibration] port at the rear panel of
the oscilloscope.
4. Adjust the spacing between the probe tips so as to connect the positive
probe tip to the middle signal line on the calibration board and the
negative probe tip to the both sides of the middle signal line. Note: it is
recommended to place the probe tips at the middle of the calibration
board.
5. Press Start and the oscilloscope starts to calibrate the probe. The
