Probe Compensation
When the probes are used for the first time or when the probe compensation signal
does not match that shown in Figure 1-10 (refer to “Function Inspection”), you
should compensate the probes to match the input channels of the oscilloscope.
Non-compensated or poorly compensated probes may cause measurement error.
The probe compensation procedures are as follows.
1. Perform steps 1, 2, 3 and 4 of “Function Inspection” in the previous section.
2. Check the waveform displayed on the oscilloscope and compare it with the
waveforms shown in the figure below.
Figure 1-11 Probe Compensation
3. Use a nonmetallic driver to adjust the low-frequency compensation adjustment
hole on the probe until the waveform displayed is as the “Perfectly compensated”
in the figure above.
Over compensated Perfectly compensated Under compensated
