Probe Compensation
When a passive probe is used for the first time, you should compensate it to
match the input channel of the oscilloscope. Non-compensated or poorly
compensated probe may increase measurement inaccuracy or error. The
probe compensation procedures are as follows:
1. Connect the coaxial cable interface (BNC connector) of passive probe
to any channel of the oscilloscope.
2. Connect the probe to the “Compensation Signal Output Terminal”
(Cal) on the front of the oscilloscope. Connect the ground alligator clip
of the probe to the “Ground Terminal” under the compensation signal
output terminal.
3. Press the Auto Setup button.
4. Check the waveform displayed and compare it with the following.
