Signal Path Compensation (SPC)
The signal path compensation (SPC) routine optimizes the
oscilloscope signal path for maximum measurement accuracy. You
can run the routine anytime but you should always run the routine if
the ambient temperature changes by 10î C or more.
To compensate the signal path, do the following steps:
1. Disconnect any probes or cables from the channel input
connectors.
2. Push the UTILITY button.
3. Push the System screen button to select Cal.
4. Push the Signal Path screen button.
5. Push OK Compensate Signal Path. This procedure takes several
minutes to complete.
NOTE. The signal path compensation does not include calibration to
the probe tip.
