PFI • A probe tip–to-BNC (m) adapter The PXIe-5163 can output a 1 kHz square wave that you can use to compensate passive probes. To compensate a passive probe, complete the following steps: Connect the BNC end of the probe to an input channel of your oscilloscope. - Page 15 This process ensures you are using the maximum dynamic range of the ADC. Examine the digitized signal and adjust the tunable capacitor on the probe. The probe is correctly compensated when the waveform appears as square as possible: PXIe-5163 Getting Started Guide | © National Instruments | 15...
