The probe softkey allows you to select a probe attenuation from 0.9000:1 to
1000:1. Attenuation is adjusted by either the entry knob or keypad. When
the entry knob is in coarse mode, adjustments are incremented or
decremented in the 1-2-5 sequence. When in the fine mode, adjustments are
in 0.1 increments.
Probe attenuation affects scaling factors for the display, not the sensitivity at
the input connector. Also, the attenuation factors are saved with the front
panel setups. You can let the oscilloscope calibrate (calculate) the probe or
cable attenuation for you in the utility menu.
"Probe Cal Menu" in Chapter 11 for information on probe calibration.
