TD744A Probe cal storage


 

Every time I power up my 'scope it complains that two (and only two)
probes have changed and "do you want to use the existing cal data or
re-cal".

If I choose to use the existing cal data it works fine, or if I
recalibrate the probe it works fine too but I still get challenged the
next time I power up.

Do I need to "enable write access" to the nvram when I re-cal a probe ??

Or is the nvram failing ??

The 'scope is working fine in all other respects.

Best regards,
Dave


 

I believe this is normal. It will do this anytime you connect a probe that
has readout scaling or power up with any connected. My 754C does the same
thing.

The thing is - I have 4 identical probes on this 4 channel 'scope - but
only 2 channels do this.

David, try switching the two probes on the channels that do this with the two that don't so you can check whether the problem is with the scope channels or with the probes.
