Compensating Probes
Perform this adjustment to match your probe to the input channel. This should
be done whenever you attach a probe for the first time to any input channel.
Low Frequency Compensation
1 Set the Probe menu attenuation to 10X. Press the appropriate channel
button on the front panel (
1 or 2), then select the Probe menu item until
10X appears.
2 Attach the probe tip to the probe compensation connector and the
ground lead to the probe compensator ground connector. If you use the
probe hook-tip, ensure a proper connection by firmly inserting the tip
onto the probe.
3 Press the
Autoscale front panel button.
