Operating the Probe To inspect the probe To inspect the probe Inspect the shipping container for damage. If the shipping container or cushioning material is damaged, it should be kept until the contents of the shipment have been checked for completeness and the instrument had been checked mechanically and electrically. Accessories supplied with the instrument are listed in see “Accessories Supplied” on page 6 of this manual. If the contents are incomplete, if there is mechanical damage or d

Operating the Probe Recommended Test Equipment WARNING Before connecting this instrument, the protective earth terminal of the instrument must be connected to the protective conductor of the (Mains) power cord. The Mains plug must be inserted in a socket outlet provided with a protective each contact. The protective action must be negated by the use on an extension cord (power cable) without a protective conductor (grounding). Grounding one conductor of a two- conductor outlet does not provi

Operating the Probe Recommended Test Equipment • Offset null zeroes the dc level at the output of the probe. The range of adjustment is about ±4 mV. • DC Reject Gain adjusts the gain of the dc reject circuit to accurately null the dc component of an input signal. The range of adjustment is about ±0.5%. Figure 1-5 1142A Front Panel Equipment Needed The following equipment is necessary for initial adjustment. • 5 V power supply • DVM that can measure 25 µV •50 Ω BNC feedthrough terminator • 0114

The negative terminal of the supply should connect to the shield of the test board BNC. If your power supply has standard binding posts, you can connect a banana-to-BNC adapter to the supply and connect a BNC cable between the supply and the

Operating the Probe Recommended Test Equipment Figure 1-7 Basic Accessory Connections Probe Tips Probe tips fit into the receptacles in the probe and are held in place with probe tip caps. If necessary, you can solder the probe tips into a circuit or wires can be soldered to the tips. If you solder to the probe tips, be careful not to melt the plastic probe tip caps. Note Because of the close tolerances between the probe tip caps and probe tips, it will be difficult to separate the probe tips

Operating the Probe Recommended Test Equipment Note Use extension leads and similar connection accessories carefully. Extension leads compromise the high-frequency specifications of the probe. CMRR is particularly sensitive to unbalanced input parameters. To prevent pickup of stray fields when you use extension lead, either the ones supplied with the 1141A or others, dress them carefully as follows: • Connect the leads at right angles to the circuitry under test. • Keep the leads as parallel

Operating the Probe Recommended Test Equipment Adapters There are three adapters for use with the differential probe. Two adapters are attenuators, a 10x and a100x. The other is an ac adapter for blocking dc from the probe input. The adapters are installed on the probe after the probe tip caps and probe tips have been removed. The adapter fastens to the probe using a thumb wheel located on the underside of the adapter. the figure below shows a good way to hold the probe while attaching the

Operating the Probe Recommended Test Equipment Adapter Combinations The figure below shows the allowed adapter and probe connections. There are two specific combinations that should not be used. • Do not attach the ac adapter between an attenuator adapter and the probe. An attenuator adapter must be terminated by the input resistance of the probe. The ac adapter isolates the probe input resistance. • Do not cascade two attenuator adapters. The attenuator adapters are designed to be terminated

Operating the Probe Recommended Test Equipment To use dc reject: 1 Remove the ac adapter if it is installed. 2 On the front panel of the 1142A, press Local. 3 Under DC Reject on the front panel, press 5.0 Hz or 0.5 Hz individually, or 5.0 Hz and 0.5 Hz simultaneously to get 0.05 Hz. Within the frequency and voltage characteristics noted elsewhere in this manual, low frequencies are nulled from the input signal. Offset Offset is the best method to use when the low-frequency corners associated w
