6. Use the same method to test the other channels. If the square waveforms
actually shown do not match that in the figure above, please perform "Probe
Compensation" introduced in the next section.
WARNING
To avoid electric shock when using the probe, please make sure that the
insulated wire of the probe is in good condition. Do not touch the
metallic part of the probe when the probe is connected to high voltage
source.
Probe Compensation
When the probes are used for the first time, you should compensate the probes to
make them match the input channels of the oscilloscope. Non-compensated or
poorly compensated probes may cause measurement inaccuracy or errors. The
probe compensation procedures are as follows:
1. Perform Step 1, 2, 3 and 4 specified in "Function Inspection".
2. Check the displayed waveforms and compare them with Figure 1-10.
Figure 1-10 Probe Compensation
3. Use a nonmetallic screwdriver to adjust the low-frequency compensation
adjustment hole on the probe until the waveform is displayed as "Perfectly
compensated" in the figure above.
Tip
The signal output from the probe compensation connector can only be used for
making compensation adjustment for the 10X high-impedance probe and cannot
be used for calibration.
