This menu lets you select additional probe parameters such
as attenuation factor and units of measurement for the
connected probe.
• Probe Attenuation — See “To set the probe attenuation
factor” on page 79.
• Skew — When measuring time intervals in the ns range,
small differences in cable length can affect the
measurement. Use Skew to remove cable-delay errors
between any two channels.
Probe the same point with both probes, then press Skew
and turn the Entry knob to enter the amount of skew
between channels. Each analog channel can be adjusted
±100 ns in 10 ps increments for a total of 200 ns
difference.
The skew setting is reset to zero when you press
Save/Recall&Default Setup.
• Probe Units — Press the Units softkey to select the proper
measurement unit for the connected probe. Select Volts for
a voltage probe and select Amps for a current probe.
Channel sensitivity, trigger level, measurement results,
and math functions will reflect the measurement units you
have selected.
• Calibrate Probe — See “To calibrate the probes” on page 53.
