Probe Compensation
You are suggested to compensate probe before first using so as to match its
characteristics with oscilloscope. Measurement error may be generated without
compensation or because of deviation compensation. To compensate the probe,
follow the steps below.
1. Set both the attenuation switch of the probe and the probe scale in the menu to
10X.
Figure 2-5 Set the probe attenuation quotient and switch
2. Connect the probe to CH1. And attach both the probe tip and ground lead to the
connector of probe compensator.
Figure 2-6 Connect the probe compensator
3. Open CH1 and press AUTO button after a few seconds, a square wave will be
displayed (1 kHz, approximately 3 V peak- to- peak). Check if the compensation is
