Vertical Setups Probe Setup Con trol Window: Probe Attenuation
The fixtures may require a user-supplied pulse generator.
To use
1. Connect the probes to a signal source.
2. Use the horizontal and vertical controls to center the fastest signal on the screen.
3. Click a Chan <1–4> tab to select the slower channel.
4. Click in the Deskew Time entry box, and use a multipurpose knob to adjust the deskew time so that

Behavior
Each input channel has its own deskew settings. Deskew compensates individual channels for probes or
cables of different lengths. The instrument applies the delay values after each completed acquisition. The
deskew values, which have a range of ±75 ns, do not affect triggering. Deskew is available for Sample
and Ave
rage acquisition modes only.
The deskew values are saved as part of the instrument s etup. The deskew values for the selected channel
will b
e retained until you change the probe, you restore a saved setup, or you recall the factory setup.
