How do I adjust the channel bandwidth to reduce noise on the input using a standard generic BNC probe? I don't want to see noise in in 20 Mhz range, the lowest they can set right now is 20Mhz

I would like to learn how to change the attenuation on the P6015A. Whenever we do measurements with the probe while connected to a laptop, typically a 2k V measurement, the laptop is zapped, causing a power surge on the USB port, which crashes the Handyscope HS5 Software.

I am trying to remotely control the scope from a PC. I can acquire data and screen captures using OpenChoice desktop. However, the settings files are binary files that I do not know how to read or modify. Is there a tool that helps to view and edit these files? I have also tried using the OpenChoice Talker Listener. When I hit Query with the *IDN? command, the write is successful but the read fails.

Jerome contacted technical support as he is having issues setting the max amplitude on the AWG70002B. He explained that the device is refusing to output anything over 500 mV, but the website says that the unit does 500 mV p-p to 1 V p-p. Please reach out to Jerome with reasons why the range could be capping out.
Thanks

Our passive probe when connected to an MSO54 is not reading any voltage even when connected directly to voltage source. Is there any other methods of testing functionality or servicing these probes?

I can't find a service manual for later production for the 2440 Oscilloscope. I have located the service manual for serial numbers B014064 & below. There is a difference in the NVRAM circuitry between the two and I am trying to work on that. Where can I get a copy of this service manual?

I would like to know if I have to send the accessories that come with the probe for calibration.

I would like to measure the 4-wire resistance of a semiconductor sensor. The challenge is that the device is sensitive and may break when supplied with >500mV. I would like to do measurements at 50mV - 100mV. I had trouble finding resources on how to set this up with the DMM6500.

Thanks for the help!

I am looking for information on how to do your own calibration and update the internal table on the RSA306B. I would like the amplitude of the unit to be at 0 dB.

We recently purchased a spectrum analyzer from Tektronix. We have realized there is step in its spectrum as shown in the attached image. This step comes and goes randomly and causes unreliable measurement results.
