Probe Compensation
When the probes are used for the first 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 Inspection".
2. Check the displayed waveforms and compare them with the following figures.
Figure 1-8 Probe Compensation
3. Use a nonmetallic driver to adjust the low-frequency compensation adjustment
hole on the probe until the displayed waveform is displayed as "Perfectly
compensated" in the figure above.
