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 Figure 1-12.

3.  Use  a  nonmetallic  screwdriver  to  adjust  the  low-frequency  compensation 
adjustment  hole  on  the  probe  until  the  waveform  is  displayed  as  "Perfectly 
compensated" in the figure above. 
 
Tip 
The probe compensation signal can only be used for probe compensation 
adjustment and cannot be used for calibration.
