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 or error. The probe compensation procedures are as
follows.
1. Set the switch to 10X on the probe.
2. Perform steps 1, 2, 3 and 4 of “Function Inspection” in the previous section.
3. Check the waveforms displayed and compare them with the following:
Under Perfectly Over
Compensated Compensated Compensated
4. 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.
