I recently acquired a Tektronix 11403 scope. Due to lack of my experience with something this advanced, I'm having some issues. I hope someone can help me out. I only have regular TEK probes without any intelligence and third party probes.
1) Figured out that test signal output is usually disabled. I have to be in certain mode to enable them. One of them is deskew in probes menu.
2) I go into deskew menu and run the process. It always end with red banner that reads: "Probe cal complete. Deskew FAILED. Perform probe compensation procedure".
I'm thinking this is so because it's a third party probe. I think the intelligent probe that typically comes with this scope will have some intelligence feature to automate this. Is it right that this is an expected behavior with normal probes? Manual does not explain this very well and it only talks about using TEK probes.
