Inspecting the Probe Inspecting the Probe Inspect the shipping container for damage. Keep the damaged shipping container or cushioning material until the contents of the shipment have been checked for completeness and the probe has been checked mechanically and electrically. Check the accessories. If the contents are incomplete or damaged, notify your Agilent Technologies Sales Office. Inspect the instrument. If there is mechanical damage or defect, or if the probe does not operate properly or pass calibration tests, notify your Agilent Technologies Sales Office. If the shipping container is damaged, or the cushioning materials show signs of stress, notify the carrier as well as your Agilent Technologies Sales Office. Keep the shipping materials for the carrier s inspection. The Agilent Technologies office will arrange for repair or replacement at Agilent Technologies option without waiting for claim settlement. Cleaning the Probe Disconnect the probe and clean it with a soft cloth. Make sure the probe is completely dry before reconnecting it to an oscilloscope. Avoid using abrasive cleaners and chemicals containing benzene or similar solvents.! Handling the Probe Handle the probe with care and refer to the safety notices in this manual. Note that the probe cable is a sensitive part of the probe and, therefore, you should be careful not to damage it through excessive bending or pulling. You should also avoid any mechanical shocks to this product in order to guarantee accurate performance and protection. 3

N2792A and N2793A Differential Probes N2792A and N2793A Differential Probes The N2792A 200 MHz and N2793A 800 MHz differential probes provide the superior high-speed differential signal probing required by today s high-speed power measurements, automotive bus measurements, and high-speed digital system designs. The N2792A and N2793A probes offer a 10:1 attenuation ratio, allowing them to be used for a broad range of applications.

Verify that the probe gain accuracy is +/-2% + scope gain accuracy.. 13 Disable the calibrator output and leave the setup connected for the next procedure. Bandwidth 1 Connect the PV fixture trace to the calibrator active head channel 1. 2 Set the volts/division on channel 2 of the oscilloscope to 500 mv. Trigger on channel 2. Select 50 impedance. 3 Set the calibrator channel 2 as the trigger channel (50 load). Connect calibrator channel 2 active head to the channel 2 of the oscilloscope. 4 Terminate the 50 trace on the E2655B with the matched 50 terminator. 5 Use a probe positioner to place the probe pgog pin tips onto the center of the signal trace and ground via. 6 Set the volts/division on channel 1 of the oscilloscope to 50 mv and ns/division to 2 ns/division. Set the trace to the center of the oscilloscope and set the impedance to 50. Disable average mode and set the acquisition mode to Peak Detect mode. 7 Set the calibrator to sine wave, 3 V peak-to-peak and set the frequency to 800 MHz, 50 load. 8 Write down the peak-to-peak amplitude measured by the oscilloscope. It should be greater than or equal to 210 mv - scope vertical accuracy. 9 Disable the generator output and disconnect the probe input. 24

Safety Notices This apparatus has been designed and tested in accordance with IEC Publication 61010, Safety Requirements for Measuring Apparatus, and has been supplied in a safe condition. This is a Safety Class I instrument (provided with terminal for protective earthing). Before applying power, verify that the correct safety precautions are taken (see the following warnings). In addition, note the external markings on the instrument that are described under "Safety Symbols." Warnings Whenever it is likely that the ground protection is impaired, you must make the instrument inoperative and secure it against any unintended operation. Service instructions are for trained service personnel. To avoid dangerous electric shock, do not perform any service unless qualified to do so. Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person, capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation, is present. Do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modification to the instrument. Capacitors inside the instrument may retain a charge even if the instrument is disconnected from its source of supply. Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gasses or fumes. Operation of any electrical instrument in such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard. Do not use the instrument in a manner not specified by the manufacturer. Safety Symbols! Instruction manual symbol: the product is marked with this symbol when it is necessary for you to refer to the instruction manual in order to protect against damage to the product or personal injury.
