6. Use the same method to test the other channels. If the square waveforms
actually shown do not match that in the figure above, please perform “Probe
Compensation” in the next section.
WARNING
To avoid electric shock during the use of probe, 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 high
voltage source.
Tip
The signal output from the probe compensation connector can only be used for
probe compensation adjustment and can not be used for calibration.
Probe Compensation
When the probes are used for the first time, you should compensate the probes to
match the input channels of the oscilloscope. Non-compensated or poorly
compensated probes may cause measurement inaccuracy and error. The probe
compensation procedure is as follows:
1. Perform step 1, 2, 3 and 4 of “Function Inspection” in the previous section.
2. Check the displayed waveforms and compare them with the following figures.

3. Use a nonmetallic driver to adjust the variable capacitor on the probe until the
displayed waveform is as the “Correctly compensated” in the figure above.
