Operating Basics
This section contains information you need to operate the 80A03 TekConnect
Probe Interface Module.
Understanding the Controls
The 80A03 TekConnect Probe Interface Module front panel has one multi-color
LED for each channel. During power on and normal operation, the LEDs report
red, green, or off as explained below. The TekConnect Probe Interface Module
contains no additional user controls.
H Red. Indicates that an incompatible probe is attached to the TekConnect
input. See page 1 for a list of compatible probes.
H Green. Indicates that a supported probe is attached to the TekConnect input.
H Off. Indicates that the probe interface is disconnected from the sampling
oscilloscope (no power) or that a probe is not attached to the TekConnect
input.
The following describes typical TekConnect Probe Interface Module operation
when you power on the sampling oscilloscope with the probe interface installed:
H Both LEDs flicker green, then red, then green, and turn off. This indicates
that proper power is applied and initialization has occurred.
H The LEDs do not light. This indicates that the probe interface is not
receiving power and may be disconnected from the sampling oscilloscope.
The following describes typical TekConnect Probe Interface Module operation
when you attach a TekConnect probe:
H The LED turns green, indicating that a valid probe is attached. If you pressed
the oscilloscope channel button, the display also becomes active for the
channel selected.
H The LED turns red, indicating that an invalid or unrecognized probe is
attached.
H The LED remains off, indicating that no probe is detected.
