To Set the Probe
The analog channel of this oscilloscope not only supports the common passive probe,
but also the active probe. It can automatically recognize the currently connected
probe type and its probe ratio. For detailed technical information of the probes,
please refer to the corresponding Probe User’s Guide.
Press 1 to open the setting menu of CH1. Then, press Probe to open the probe
menu. If different probes are connected to the oscilloscope, different information
about the probe will be displayed, and you can perform the different operations on
the menu.
Passive Probe
If a passive probe is connected, for example, when RIGOL's RP3500A probe model
is connected to the oscilloscope, press Probe to open the probe menu. Its
sub-menus are grayed out and disabled.
Active Probe
If an active probe is connected, for example, when RIGOL's RP7150 probe model is
connected to the oscilloscope, press Probe to open the probe menu, and you can
operate on the menu item.
⚫ Probe Delay
To avoid measurement result errors arising from the transmission delay of the
probe cable, the oscilloscope provides the probe delay adjustment function for
the active probe. Press Skew, and then rotate the multifunction knob or
use the numeric keypad to set the probe delay time.
Tip
For some of the ordinary passive probes, the oscilloscope can recognize their
probe ratio automatically. If not recognized, please refer to "Probe Ratio" to set
the probe ratio.
Tip
⚫ When a 50 Ω active probe is connected, the input impedance (refer to "Input
Impedance") of the channel will be automatically set to "50 Ω".
⚫ For the active probe, the oscilloscope can recognize the probe ratio
automatically. If the currently connected probe supports a variety of probe
ratios, please refer to "Probe Ratio" to set the probe ratio.
