6000 Series Oscilloscope User’s Guide 79
Example Connect the oscilloscope probes for channels 1 and 2 to the
Probe Comp output on the front panel of the instrument. Be
sure to connect the probe ground leads to the ground lug beside
the Probe Comp output. Set the instrument to the factory
default configuration by pressing the Save/Recall key, then the
Default Setup softkey. Then press the AutoScale key. You should
see a display similar to the one shown below.
Figure 9 AutoScale of oscilloscope channels 1 and 2
For an explanation of how AutoScale works, see “How
AutoScale Works” on page 299.
To set the probe attenuation factor
Passive Probes
All 6000 Series oscilloscopes including the 100 MHz models
recognize passive probes such as the 10073C and 10074C. These
probes have a pin on their connector that connects to the ring
around the oscilloscope’s BNC connector. Therefore, the
oscilloscope will automatically set the attenuation factor for
recognized Agilent passive probes.
