Figure 10: Probe Comp connections on the MSO58LP.
Connect the probe tip to the 1 kHz source, and the ground clip to the ground. For best results, remove any probe tip
accessories and hold the probe tip directly onto the 1 kHz connector.
NOTE. Connect only one probe at a time to the PROBE COMP terminals.
3. Turn off all channels.
4. Turn on the channel to which the probe is connected.
5. Push the front-panel Autoset button. On the MSO58LP, select File > Autoset from the menu bar. The screen displays a
square wave.
6. Double-tap the badge of the channel that you want to compensate.
7. Tap the Probe Setup panel.
If the Probe Compensation Status says Pass, the probe is already compensated for this channel. You can move the probe
to another channel and start again from step 1, or connect a different probe to this channel and start from step 1.
If the Probe Compensation Status says Default, continue with this procedure.
8. Tap Compensate Probe to open the Probe Compensation dialog.
9. Tap Compensate Probe to run the probe compensation.
10. The probe compensation is finished when the Probe Compensation Status displays Pass. Disconnect the probe tip and
ground from the PROBE COMP terminals.
11. Repeat these steps for each supported passive probe that you want to compensate for this channel.
12. Repeat these steps to compensate supported probes on other channels of the oscilloscope.
NOTE. For most accurate measurements, open the Probe Setup panel and verify the Probe Compensation Status is Pass
whenever you attach a probe to a channel.
