Field or control Description
Deskew Sets or displays the probe deskew value.
Set to 0 Sets the probe deskew value to zero (0) seconds.
Multi-Channel Opens a Deskew configuration menu that allows you to deskew multiple channels (two at a
time).
External Attenuation Double-tap the numeric fields to set the external attenuation using the virtual keypad.
Set to Unity Sets the external attenuation to unity.
Alternate Units Toggles Alternate Units On or Off. Use to set custom vertical measurement units. The vertical
scale will show the entered measurement units.
Units Double-tap to enter alternate units using the virtual keyboard. Only shown when Alternate
Units = On.
Ratio Double-tap the numeric fields to set the ratio using the virtual keypad. Only shown when
Alternate Units = On.
Set to Unity Sets the ratio to unity. Only shown when Alternate Units = On.

Deskew configuration menu (Other panel, Channel configuration menu)
Use the Deskew configuration menu to make display and measurement adjustments for analog probes that have differing
propagation delays. This is especially important when using a current probe in conjunction with a voltage probe.
To open the Deskew configuration menu:
1. Double-tap an analog Channel badge on the Settings bar to open the Channel configuration menu.
2. Tap the Other panel.
3. Tap the Multi-Channel button.
Use the controls in the Deskew menu to set the deskew parameters to recommended values, based on the nominal propagation
delay of supported probes. The oscilloscope automatically loads the nominal propagation delay values of TekVPI and TekProbe
II probes (TekProbe II probes require use of a TPA-BNC adaptor).
NOTE. This deskew menu does not actively test and adjust the probe delay between channels; it uses the delay values stored in
supported probes, or a custom propagation delay value that you enter, to set the propagation delay to zero between the
reference channel probe and one or more other probes.
To actively adjust probe delay using a signal, see Deskew analog input channels - quick visual method on page 78 and Deskew
analog input channels - measurement method on page 79.
