Probe Compensation
When the probes are used for the f irst time, you should compensate the probes to
make them match the input channels of the oscilloscope. Non-compensated or
poorly compensated probes may cause measurement inaccuracy or errors. The
probe compensation procedures are as follows:
1. Perform Step 1, 2, 3 and 4 specified in "Function I nspection".
2. Check the displayed waveforms and compare them with Figure 1-10.
Figure 1-10 Probe Compensation
3. Use a nonmetallic screwdriver to adjust the low-frequency compensation
adjustment hole on the probe until the waveform is displayed as "Perfectly
compensated" in the f igure above.
Tip
The probe compensation signal can only be used for probe compensation
adjustment and cannot be used for calibration.
