match a probe set to 10X connected to CH 1, push the 1 ► Probe ► Voltage ►
Attenuation option, and select 10X.
NOTE. The default setting for the Attenuation option is 10X.
If you change the Attenuation switch on a P2220 probe, you also need to change
the oscilloscope Attenuation option to match. Switch settings are 1X and 10X.
Attenuation switch
NOTE. When the Attenuation switch is set to 1X, the P2220 probe limits the
bandwidth of the oscilloscope to 6 MHz. To use the full bandwidth of the
oscilloscope, be sure to set the switch to 10X.
