Operation
Probe Compensation
Misadjustment of probe compensation is a common source of
measurement error. Due to variations in oscilloscope input char
acteristics, probe compensation should be checked whenever
the probe is moved from one oscilloscope to another or from one
channel to another on the same oscilloscope. Always compen
sate the probe to the channel on which it will be used. See the
procedure in Section 4, Checks and Adjustments.
Probe Handling
Both the probe and the probe accessories should be handled
carefully to prevent damage. Striking a hard surface can damage
both the probe body and the probe tip. Exercise care to prevent
the cable from being crushed, kinked, or excessively strained.
Coaxial Cables
To maintain good waveform fidelity and accuracy, use only
high-quality, low-loss coaxial cables. When you use 5011 or 7511
coaxial cable, attach a matching external terminator. Some high
frequency response will be lost with external termination.
