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
