Operating Basics
Please follow these operating guidelines to get optimum performance
from your P6245.
Maximum Non-destructive Input Voltage
The P6245 is electrically protected against static voltage; however,
applying voltages above its design limits may damage the probe tip
amplifier. Please refer to the Specifications section of this manual for
the maximum operating voltage and frequency derating information.
Input Linear Dynamic Range
The probe head amplifier used by the P6245 has a limited linear
operating range. To keep the input linearity error less than 4% you
must limit the signal input voltage to ±8 V (including any DC offset).
Use the DC offset adjustment to maintain the probe within its
dynamic range. The nominal offset adjustment range of the P6245 is
±10 VDC. For example: to offset a +5 VDC level in a circuit, set the
offset to +5 V.
