Probe calibration procedures
The 86100 DCA has a built-in calibration process to
compensate for probe attenuation and offsets. The probe
calibration is achieved by attaching the probe tip to a
known DC signal that is available from the oscilloscope
mainframe. The process is Calibration/All calibrations/CH
‘X’ Probe compensation (for the channel the 83496A/B
output is routed to.).
For probe compensation with plug-in modules that do not
include a probe supply outlet (86105B, 86105C, 86117A,
86118A) the calibration procedure is similar. However,
if there is a voltage offset, it must be compensated for
manually (Setup/Channels/Channel X/Advanced with
the attenuation factor adjusted to account for signal loss
in splitting and/or probe voltage division).
