Probe Compensation
You should compensate a probe to an oscilloscope input whenever
you attach a probe for the first time to any input channel. See
page 1–3 for instructions to compensate probes.
When compensating the P3010, only adjust the trimmer marked L.

TekProbe Interface
Probes with the TekProbe interface automatically communicate with
the oscilloscope to set the probe type and attenuation factor. If you
use a probe without the TekProbe interface, you can set these
parameters in the Vertical menu for the channel that the probe is
connected to.
