Using the probe compensation signal 
 
Background 
This section introduces how to use 
the probe compensation signal for 
general usage, in case the DUT 
signal is not available or to get a 
second signal for comparison. For 
probe compensation details, see 
page112. 
 
 
Note: The frequency accuracy and duty factor are 
not guaranteed. Therefore the signal should not be 
used for reference purposes. 
Waveform type 
 
Square waveform used for probe 
compensation. 1k ~ 100kHz, 5% ~ 
95%. 
 
 
Demonstration signal for showing 
the effects of peak detection. See 
page59 for peak detection mode 
details.
