80A03 TekConnect Probe Interface Module Instruction Manual
To set up the TekConnect Probe Interface Module to trigger CSA8000 and
TDS8000 Series Oscilloscopes, do the following:
1. Remove the semi-rigid cable that connects the CH B TekConnect P robe
Interface Module to the sampling module. See Figure 8 on page 15.
2. Use a 0.5 m SMA cable to connect the 6 dB (2X) power divider to the
disconnected CH B SMA connector on the TekConnect Probe Interface
Module. See Figure 11.
3. Use a 0.5 m SMA cable to connect the disconnected port on the sampling
module to one side of the 6 dB (2X) power divider. See Figure 11.
4. Use a 0.5 m SMA cable to connect the other side of the power divider to the
sampling oscilloscope trigger input (Trigger Direct or Trigger Prescaled).
5. Attach a TekConnect trigger probe to CH B on the TekConnect Probe
Interface Module. See F igure 11.
