Operating the Probe
To inspect the probe
Inspect the shipping container for damage. If the shipping container or cushioning
material is damaged, it should be kept until the contents of the shipment have been
checked for completeness and the instrument had been checked mechanically and
electrically. Accessories supplied with the instrument are listed in see “Accessories
Supplied” on page 6 of this manual.
If the contents are incomplete, if there is mechanical damage or defect, or if the
instrument does not pass calibration tests, notify the nearest Agilent Technologies office.
If the shipping container is damaged, or the cushioning materials show sign of stress,
notify the carrier as well as the nearest Agilent Technologies office. Keep the shipping
materials for the carrier’s inspection. The office will arrange for repair or replacement
at Agilent Technologies’ option without waiting for a claim settlement.
Using the probe with other instruments
The 1141A/1142A probe system can be used with other instruments as well as
oscilloscopes. You can use it with a spectrum analyzer or frequency counter, or any
instrument with an input that can be terminated with 50 Ω.
If you are going to use the probe system with an instrument other than an oscilloscope,
you may need to set up the probe with an oscilloscope first. This will allow you to select
coupling and reject modes, and set offset, so the output of the probe is compatible with
signal requirements of the other instrument.

Setting up the probe
The following paragraphs cover system preparation and initial adjustments.
Power Requirements
The 1141A/1142A probe system (specifically the 1142A) requires a power source of
either 90 to 132/198 to 264 Vac, 47 to 440 Hz, 25 VA maximum.
C A U T I O N
Before connecting power to this instrument, be sure the line voltage switch on the rear
panel of the instrument is set properly.
Line Voltage Selection
Before applying power, verify the setting of the LINE SELECT switch on the rear panel
of the 1142A. The slide switch can be set to either 115 or 230 V.

W A R N I N G
Before connecting this instrument, the protective earth terminal of the instrument must
be connected to the protective conductor of the (Mains) power cord. The Mains plug
must be inserted in a socket outlet provided with a protective each contact. The
protective action must be negated by the use on an extension cord (power cable)
without a protective conductor (grounding). Grounding one conductor of a two-
conductor outlet does not provide an instrument ground.
This instrument is provided with a three-wire power cable. When connected to an
appropriate ac power outlet, this cable grounds the instrument cabinet. The type of
power cable plug shipped with the instrument depends on the country of destination.
The 1142A Power Control and Power Module does not have a power switch. A power
switch is not required because of the low mains power requirement.
Figure 1-4
1142A Rear Panel
Procedure
1 Use the power cord to connect the 1142A to the ac mains.
2 Connect the 1141A probe cable power connector to the PROBE connector on
the rear panel of the 1142A power module.
3 Connect the output of the probe to the input of the oscilloscope.
4 Set the input impedance of the oscilloscope to 50 Ω.
If the oscilloscope does not have a selectable 50 Ω input impedance, connect a 50 Ω BNC
feedthrough termination between the probe output and the input of the oscilloscope.
5 If making an initial equipment setup, continue with the initial adjustment in
the following section.
Initial Adjustment
For a given combination of 1141A Differential Probe and 1142A Probe Control and Power
Module, you may want to adjust the Offset Null and DC Reject Gain. Typically, you need
to make these adjustments only once, before the probe is first used. You can make them
any time to optimize the system. These adjustments do not affect the specifications of
the probe system.

Offset null zeroes the dc level at the output of the probe. The range of adjustment is
about 4 mV.
DC Reject Gain adjusts the gain of the dc reject circuit to accurately null the dc
component of an input signal. The range of adjustment is about 0.5%.

Equipment Needed
The following equipment is necessary for initial adjustment.
• 5 V power supply
• DVM that can measure 25 µV
• 50 Ω BNC feedthrough terminator
• 01141-66504 test board
Equipment Setup
Use the following procedure to setup the differential probe system for initial adjustment.
C A U T I O N
Do not exceed 7 V when using the test board for this procedure. If the voltage is too
high, it will cause excessive power dissipation in the 50 Ω termination on the test board.
1 Use the probe setup procedure to set up the probe system.
2 Connect a 50 Ω BNC feedthrough terminator to the output of the probe.
3 Disconnect all accessories from the input of the probe.
4 Connect the DVM to measure the dc output of the probe at the 50 Ω load.

Set the Local/Remote push button to Local.
b
Under DC Couple, press Zero offset.
6 Set the power supply output to 5 V.
7 Arrange a connection between the power supply and the test board. The
negative terminal of the supply should connect to the shield of the test board

If your power supply has standard binding posts, you can connect a banana-to-BNC
adapter to the supply and connect a BNC cable between the supply and the test board.
Adjustment
Warm up the 1141A for 30 minutes before making adjustments.
1 With the 1141A probe inputs unconnected, adjust Offset Null on the 1142A for
a minimum reading on the DVM.
The voltage swing of the adjustment is approximately 4 mV.
2 On the 1142A, under DC Reject, press 5.0 Hz.
3 Read and record the reading on the DVM, _________ mV.
4 Connect the probe to the test board in the position shown below
(signal to + input).

With a 5 V supply, the voltage swing is approximately 12.5 mV. With a lower supply, the
voltage swings proportionally less.
Using the Accessories
The 1141A Differential Probe and accessories are designed to provide a variety of ways
to connect to circuitry and make measurements. In the descriptions, any method used
to connect to the probe signal inputs also applied to the adapters. The figure below
shows, in a general way, the use of accessories.

Basic Accessory Connections
Probe Tips
Probe tips fit into the receptacles in the probe and are held in place with probe tip caps.
If necessary, you can solder the probe tips into a circuit or wires can be soldered to the
tips. If you solder to the probe tips, be careful not to melt the plastic probe tip caps.
N o t e
Because of the close tolerances between the probe tip caps and probe tips, it will be
difficult to separate the probe tips and caps once the probe tips have been soldered.
Ground Leads
The circular end of the ground lead fits over the screw on the top side of the probe.
Extension Leads
The extension leads provide a flexible connection between circuitry and the probe.

Recommended Test Equipment
N o t e
Use extension leads and similar connection accessories carefully. Extension leads
compromise the high-frequency specifications of the probe. CMRR is particularly
sensitive to unbalanced input parameters.
To prevent pickup of stray fields when you use extension lead, either the ones supplied
with the 1141A or others, dress them carefully as follows:
•
•
Connect the leads at right angles to the circuitry under test.
Keep the leads as parallel as possible before they connect to the probe.
Mini-Grabbers
Mini-grabbers can be attached to the probe or adapter through the extension leads.
1 Remove the probe tip caps and tips.
2 Attach the extension leads to the probe or adapter.
3 Attach the mini-grabbers to the extension leads.
Circuit Connector Posts
These 0.025-inch square posts can be used to connect either directly to the probe or to
the extension leads.
Solder the posts directly into your circuitry or use them to make extension leads that
plug into the inputs of the probe or adapters.
Shielded Signal Leads
The shielded signal leads allow connection to points in a circuit that are up to 10 inches
apart. The leads are shielded to within approximately 1/2 inch of the end of the lead so
they minimize pick-up due to stray fields from adjacent circuitry.
1 Connect the end with the ground connector to the probe pins and ground of
the differential probe or adapter.
2 Connect the free ends of the leads to 0.025-inch square or 0.030-inch round pins
in your circuitry or to the mini-grabbers.
N o t e
Each lead has an input capacitance of approximately 15 pF. This capacitance may limit
the bandwidth of your measurement (depending on the impedance of the circuit). Also,
CMRR may be affected because of slight differences between the input capacitance of
the two leads. CMRR is also affected by differences in impedance between the two
measurements points.

Adapters
There are three adapters for use with the differential probe. Two adapters are
attenuators, a 10x and a100x. The other is an ac adapter for blocking dc from the probe
input.
The adapters are installed on the probe after the probe tip caps and probe tips have been
removed. The adapter fastens to the probe using a thumb wheel located on the underside
of the adapter. the figure below shows a good way to hold the probe while attaching the
adapter.
1 Remove the probe tip caps and probe tips, from the probe.
2 Fit the adapter over the end of the probe and rotate the thumb wheel with your
finger until the adapter fits snugly.
A snug fit is important because the ground is maintained through the thumb wheel screw.
A loosely attached adapter compromises the mechanical and electrical integrity of the
combination.

Adapter Combinations
The figure below shows the allowed adapter and probe connections. There are two
specific combinations that should not be used.
•
•
Do not attach the ac adapter between an attenuator adapter and the probe.
An attenuator adapter must be terminated by the input resistance of the probe. The
ac adapter isolates the probe input resistance.
Do not cascade two attenuator adapters.
The attenuator adapters are designed to be terminated by the 1 MΩ resistance of the
probe. The input resistance of the attenuator adapter is 9 MΩ for the 10x adapter and
10 MΩ for the 100x adapter.

Connector Compatibility
The following are general connector characteristics for the probe, adapters, and
accessories.
•
The female connectors on the probe, adapters, and other accessories are designed to
mate with 0.030-inch round or 0.0250-inch square pins.
•
•
The probe, adapter, and extension lead pins are 0.030-inch round.
The strip of circuit connection posts provided as an accessory has 0.025-inch square
pins.
•
•
The mini-grabber has a 0.25-inch square pin.
The ground connection at the end of the probe and adapters (where the adapters
fasten) accepts an M3 metric screw.
Test Board
The primary use of the test board is to apply test and calibration signals to the input of
the probe or adapters. Specific use of the test board is covered wherever it applies.
Grounding
Grounding is very important when probing circuitry. Improper grounding can increase
the common mode signal level. This reduces the effectiveness of the differential probe.
The mechanical connections at the input of the probe are ground for probe signals. The
screw where the ground lead attaches (see figure 1-7) fastens to this ground. Also, the
attenuator and ac adapter fasten to this ground through the screw connection and the
ground is carried through each adapter to its front.

Recommended Test Equipment
To use dc reject:
1 Remove the ac adapter if it is installed.
2 On the front panel of the 1142A, press Local.
3 Under DC Reject on the front panel, press 5.0 Hz or 0.5 Hz individually, or
5.0 Hz and 0.5 Hz simultaneously to get 0.05 Hz.
Within the frequency and voltage characteristics noted elsewhere in this manual, low
frequencies are nulled from the input signal.
Offset
Offset is the best method to use when the low-frequency corners associated with dc
reject and the ac adapter interfere with the measurement.
The key characteristics are:
•
•
•
The user manually null the dc component with the offset adjustment.
Offset is dc coupled so there is no low frequency roll-off.
Probe CMRR specifications are not compromised as happens when the ac coupling
adapter is used.
•
Thevoltageoffsetrange is 20V with theprobealone, 200V with the10xattenuator,
and 500 V with the 100x attenuator. (With the 100x attenuator, the offset range is
restricted by the maximum input voltage rating rather than the operating range of
the offset).
To use offset:
1 Remove the ac adapter if it is installed.
2 On the front panel of the 1142A, press Local and Variable offset.
3 Adjust the Coarse and Fine Variable Offset until the signal is displayed on the
screen of the oscilloscope.
ac Adapter
The ac adapter must be used when the dc component of the signal exceeds the operating
range of the dc reject or offset methods. The ac adapter block the dc and low frequency
component of the input by forming a high pass filter with the input impedance of the
probe or adapter.
The key characteristics are:
•
The ac adapter safely blocks 200 Vdc when attached directly to the probe or
500 Vdc when attached to a 10x or 100x adapter.
•
The probe and adapters have different input impedances, so they have different low
frequency corners with the ac adapter. When the ac adapter is directly on the probe
the -3dB corner is 15 Hz. When the ac adapter is on an attenuator the corner is 1.5 Hz.
•
The low-frequency CMRR when using the ac adapter is not as good as when using the
probe alone or the probe with a 10x or 100x adapter.
C A U T I O N
If you measure a node having a high dc potential, the blocking capacitors in the ac
adapter will charge to that potential. After making such measurements, discharge the
capacitors by grounding both inputs of the ac adapter. This will prevent damage by a
high voltage discharge into sensitive circuitry when the next measurement is made.

Remote operation
For automatic test applications, the coupling and offset functions provided by the 1142A
Probe Control and Power Module can be remotely controlled through a connector on the
rear panel of the module. The connection is through a standard 9-pin female
D-subminiature connector. This style is the same as that used on some personal
computer monitor cables, which provides an economical way to connect the 1142A to
the controller interface on an automatic test system.

Differential Amplifiers and CMRR
The 1141A Differential Probe is a high-impedance differential amplifier. A characteristic
of differential amplifiers is the ability to reject signals that are common to the two inputs.
The common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) is the measurement of this ability. It is
expressed as the ratio between the amplitudes of the common mode and differential
signals which product equal outputs. For example, if a common mode signal of 1 V and
differential signal of 1 mV both produce outputs of 1 mV, the CMRR is 1000:1.
The ability to reject common mode signals is dependent on the balance designed into
the differential amplifier. At higher frequencies it becomes harder to balance circuit
parasitics and parameters of devices so CMRR degrades as frequency increases. Also,
stray coupling increases with frequency and coupling may vary between the two
differential paths.
The CMRR of the 1141A Differential Probe is specified at the input of the probe and
cannot be affected expect by adjustments in the probe. However, the way the probe is
connected into the circuitry being tested can have a big influence in the overall result of
the measurement, especially at high frequencies.
The following things can affect the effective CMRR of a test setup:
•
The connection to the circuit under test.
The method used to connect the probe is important because it involves the symmetry
of the differential input circuitry. For example, using different lengths of wire to
connect the circuit to the two probe inputs unbalances the inductance and
capacitance at the inputs. The effective CMRR will be reduced, especially at high
frequencies. Additionally, coupling from adjacent circuitry will be less balanced.
•
The impedance of the source.
This is another instance where the symmetry of the differential circuit is important.
The impedance of the source forms a network with the input impedance of the source
forms a network with the input impedance of the connections and the probe. This
network determines the frequency response for the measurement. If each side of the
differential source has a different impedance, the frequency response of each side
will be different and the unbalance is reflected in a reduced CMRR. Of course, lower
source impedances have less effect on the frequency response of the measurement.
•
•
The ground connection.
A poorly located ground connection allows ground loops to add to the common mode
signal.
Frequency.
Frequency is the most important factor in CMRR only because all of the factors
mentioned above are frequency dependent. The unbalances of capacitance and
inductance are more important as frequency increases. Therefore, good high-
frequency practice is important when using a high impedance differential probe.
On the other hand, if the differential probe is ac coupled to the circuit under test (the
ac adapter is being used) the CMRR will be degraded below a certain frequency; the
lower the frequency the worse the CMRR. This is because unbalance in the series
capacitances of the ac coupler becomes more significant the lower the frequency.

Calibration Tests and Adjustment
Equipment Required
Introduction
This chapter is divided into two sections. The first section gives
calibration tests and the second adjustment procedures for the 1141A
Equipment Required
A complete list of equipment required for the calibration tests and adjustments is listed
in “Recommended Test Equipment” on page 9. Equipment required for individual
proceduresislistedatthe procedure. Anyequipmentsatisfying thecriticalspecifications
listed may be substituted for the recommended model.
The Test Board
The test board is a supplied accessory for use during calibration tests and adjustments
to connect signals to the differential probe (with or without adapters). A BNC connector
connects the test board to a cable from the signal generator. The board includes a 50 Ω
termination (two 100 Ω resistors).
C A U T I O N
The power rating of the 50 Ω termination is 1.0 W. Keep the signal input below 7 Vdc
or rms to avoid degrading the termination.
Once the probe tip caps and probe tips have been removed, the probe can be connected
to the test board in one of three ways, as shown in the figure below. At each position of
the probe, probe inputs are connected to a different combination of signal and ground.
A separate terminal on the test board connects the ground of the probe to the signal
ground.

Calibration Tests
These procedures test the probe’s electrical performance using applicable specifications
given in “Performance Specifications and Characteristics” on page 55 as performance
standards. Specifications applicable to individual tests are noted at the test for reference.
Testing Interval
The calibration testing procedures may be performed for incoming inspection of the
instrument and should be performed periodically thereafter to ensure and maintain peak
performance. The recommended test interval is yearly or every 2,000 hours of operation.
Amount of use, environmental conditions, and the user’s experience concerning need
for testing will contribute to verification requirements.
Calibration Test Record
The results of the calibration tests may be tabulated in the Calibration Test Record
provided at the end of the calibration tests. The Calibration Test Record listed the
calibration tests and provides an area to mark test results. The results recorded in the
Calibration Test Record during initial inspection may be used for later comparisons of
the tests during periodic maintenance, troubleshooting, and after repairs or adjustments.
Calibration Test Procedures
Procedures may be done individually or in any order.
N O T E
Allow the instrument to warm up for at least 30 minutes prior to beginning calibration
tests.

Attenuator Adapter Adjustment
Attenuator Adapter Adjustment
The following procedure should be used if it is necessary to adjust an attenuator adapter.
Attenuator adapters have only characteristics; they do not have any specifications. An
adapter will need adjustment only if one or more of the following occurs.
•
If an adapter is to be used on a different 1141A probe that it was calibrated with
last.
•
•
If an adapter needs to be optimized to requirements for a special measurement.
If an adapter is suspected of needing adjustment.
N O T E
Attenuator adapters should not be adjusted as part of routine maintenance. The design
necessary to give the high CMRR and high impedance of the attenuators makes
adjustment delicate.
Additionally, because of broadband noise, a spectrum analyzer should be used to verify
adjustment quality.
Each attenuator contains two identical voltage dividers on a ceramic substrate. There
are three adjustments. The low-frequency CMRR adjust the low-frequency balance
between the two voltage dividers. The two high-frequency adjustments are electrically
identical. Each adjusts the high-frequency compensation of one of the voltage dividers.
To meet both pulse response and CMRR characteristics they are adjusted differently.
Briefly, the adjustment procedure is:
a
Adjustthepositive high-frequencyresponse(+HFRESP)forthe best pulse response
using a 3.5 kHz square wave.
b
Adjust the negative high-frequency response (-HF RESP) and Low-frequency CMRR
(LF CMRR) for best CMRR using a 3.5 kHz square wave.

Theory of Operation
Theory of Operation
The following discussion covers block-level theory for the 1141A/1142A differential
probe system. Refer to the block diagram below.
The differential probe system consists of two units, the 1141A Differential Probe with
its accessories and the 1142A Probe Control and Power Module. For purposes of the
following discussion, these will be called the probe and the control module respectively.

Theory of Operation
Differential Probe
The probe contains a two-path differential amplifier with unity gain. It is implemented
on a double-sided surface-mount PC board with the high-frequency path on one side and
the low-frequency path on the other. The two paths are split directly after the differential
input connections.
High-Frequency Path
The positive and negative inputs are ac-coupled at 33 Hz into identical impedance
converters. The HF CMRR adjustment balances the gain at the outputs of the impedance
converters. The impedance feed a semi-custom differential amplifier. An additional
negative input to the differential amplifier brings in the sum of the low-frequency and
feedbacksignals.TheFREQCOMPadjustmentprovidesvariablehigh-frequencypeaking
of the differential amp. The output amp provides two signals. A feedback signal is
summed with the low-frequency signals and the output signal is the final output of the
probe. Overall probe gain is set by the HIGH FREQ GAIN adjustment.
The entire signal portion of the high-frequency path is implemented on a hybrid IC.
Support circuitry includes bias for the impedance converters and a bias supply for
current sources on the hybrid.
Low-Frequency Path
The bandwidth of the low-frequency path is approximately 75 KHz. The positive and
negative inputs are dc coupled into identical inverting op-amps with gain of 0.5. They
provide a precision 1 M Ω input impedance for the probe. The LOW FREQ BANDWIDTH
adjustments match the gain and phase of the low-frequency path to that of the feedback
from the probe output. One of the two adjustments is set to match the properties of the
feedback and the other is to match the two low-frequency paths. These adjustments
affect the CMRR quality of the probe. The inputs of the inverting op-amps include
protection for ESD and over-voltage conditions.
The inverting op-amps feed a precision differential amplifier with unity gain and a single-
ended output. The output is fed to the summing amp and to the control module for use
in the dc reject circuit.
Summing Amp
The summing amp combines the feedbacksignal, the low-frequencysignal, andthe offset
signal. The LOW FREQ GAIN adjustment matches the gain of the low-frequency path to
the overall gain.
Control and Power Module
The control and power module provides offset functions, local and remote control, and
power to the probe system.

Theory of Operation
Offset Functions
There are two offset functions developed in the control module: variable offset and dc
reject. A variable offset voltage with coarse and fine adjustments can be selected by the
front panel controls. The offset level is buffered by U8 and selected by multiplexer U3
as the input to offset amp U7. The output of the offset amp is summed with the low-
frequency signal and feedback which gives dc coupling in the probe. Front panel
screwdriver adjustment Offset Null zeros the dc output from the probe when the dc input
and offset are zero.
For dc Reject, an output from the low-frequency amplifier in the probe (LFSIG) is used
to develop a voltage used to null the dc component of the input signal. LFSIG is an input
to U6, an inverting amplifier and low-pass filter. Multiplexer U3 selects one of three
capacitors to set a roll-off frequency of 0.05, 0.5, or 5 Hz. The output of U6 is selected,
again by U3, as the input to the offset amp. When the output of the offset amp is summed
into the low frequency path, the result is cancellation of the dc component of the input
signal. Front panel screwdriver adjustment DC Reject Gain adjusts the gain of the dc
reject circuit.
Local and Remote Control
The front panel switch controls the dc reject and offset functions. It also selects remote
operation, which allows control through the rear panel remote input connector.
Power Supply
The supply provides 6 V and 15 V for the probe and analog control circuitry as well
as +5 V for the digital control circuitry.
Attenuator Adapters
The 10x and 100x Attenuator Adapter are similar. A ceramic substrate carries two
attenuators, one for each input polarity. A variable resistor adjusts the low-frequency
balance (LF CMRR) between the two attenuators. The high-frequency adjustments are
the same for each attenuator. Each attenuator is adjusted differently. One attenuator is
adjusted for optimum pulse response and the other for best high-frequency CMRR.

To troubleshoot the probe:
1 Apply a known signal to the input of the probe.
2 Check for an identical output at the output coax to the cable. This connection
is the one soldered to the PC board. If the probe output cable is not terminated,
or the coax is open, the output signal will be about twice the amplitude of the
input signal.

C A U T I O N
Note where the two pins at the rear of the top cover enter the holes in the PC assembly.
Position the cable wires away from these two areas. When the bottom cover is closed,
part of it will pinch wires that are laying over these areas.
b
c
Insert the pins at the front of the bottom cover into the holes at the front of the top
cover.
Close the covers together and fasten with the probe clamp ring. If the covers do not
fit together tightly and easily, check for pinched wires (see caution above).
Probe Adapters
Use the following procedure to disassemble the probe adapters. The adapter housing
consists of two plastic parts, one of which slides into the other. The parts are held
together by the spring effect of two plastic tabs on the inner part.
Mechanically, the ac adapter is about the same as the 10x and 100x attenuator adapters.
The attenuator adapters have an extra ground connector which connects the substrate
ground to the thumbwheel screw and plating inside the housing.
Disassemble Adapter
1 Remove the probe tip caps and probe tips from the adapter input.
2 Hold the adapter in one hand taking care not to block the output end of the
adapter (the end which attaches to the probe).
3 Note the view of the input end of the adapter in the figure below. The arrows
indicate the holding tabs.
Figure 3-9
Disassembling Adapters
4 With the thumb and forefinger, squeeze the tabs together, as indicated by the
arrows. Simultaneously, push the tabs into the outer housing so the inner
housing begins to slide out.
5 While holding the outer housing, push back against the thumbwheel until the
inner housing can be grasped and removed.
Reassemble Adapter
Reassembling the adapter is slightly harder because you have to align the connector pins
and thumbwheel screw, while sliding the inner housing and outer housing together.
1 Be sure the input connectors and output pins are present and seated on the
substrate or PC board.

2 Combine the thumbwheel screw and thumbwheel and insert them into the hole
in the outer housing.
3 Insert the substrate/board into the outer housing. Slip the attenuator ground
(attenuator adapters only) over the thumbwheel screw and seat the input
connectors in the proper holes in the housing.
Figure 3-10
Reassembling the Adapter
Do not force reassembly of the adapter. The housing halves will slide together with
moderate friction.
4 Align the inner housing tabs with the grooves in the side of the outer housing
and slide the two partly together.
While seating the thumbwheel screw and pins, it will help to hold the assembly vertically,
with the input end of the adapter down. This will allow the assemblies to sit vertically
and more easily align with the holes in the inner housing.
5 Seat the thumbwheel screw first, then the output pins, into the appropriate
holes in the inner housing.
6 Once the two housings are nearly together, press them together firmly until
the tabs click into place.
