WARNING
To avoid electric shock, please make sure that the insulated wire of the
probe is in good condition and do not touch the metallic part of the
probe when the probe is connected to a high voltage source.
Tip
The probe compensation signal can only be used for probe compensation
adjustment and cannot be used for calibration.
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.
