5.7 Probe Compensation
When used for the first time, the oscilloscope probe must be compensated to match
the input charact
eristics of the oscilloscope channel to which it is connected. The
non-compensated or poorly compensated probe may cause measurement errors. The
compensation procedure is as follows:
1. Perform Step 1, 2, 3 and 4 in Function Inspection.
2. Check the displayed waveforms and compare them with the waveforms shown in
Figure 5.7

3. Use the pr
obe compensation adjustment tool provided in the accessories to adjust
the low-frequency compensation adjustment hole on the probe until the displayed
waveform is consistent with the "Perfectly compensated" waveform shown in the
above figure.
