Vertical Setups Probe Setup Control Window: Probe Status
Signal Path Compensation
Use the following procedure to compensate the internal signal acquisition. Perform this procedure
if the ambient temperature has changed more than 5 ° C (9 °F) since you performed the l ast signal
path compensation.
1. Power on the instrument, and allow the instrument to complete its warm up period before
continuing with this procedure.
2. Disconnect any probes that you have connected to the input channels.
3. Set the instrument to Menu mode.
4. Select Instrument Calibration from the Utilities menu.
5. Note any instructions that appear under Instructions in the resulting control window.
6. Click Run
SPC to begin the procedure. The procedure may take several minutes to complete.
7. Verify that the S tatus changes to Compensated after the procedure is complete. If the SPC Status
field ind
icates anything other than Compensated, see Signal Path Compensation Status
(see
page 500) for information on the readout and recommended action.
NOTE. When making measurements at vertical scale settings less than or equal to 5 mV, you should
perform the signal path compensation at least once a w eek. Failure to do so may result in the
instrument not meeting warranted performance levels at those volts/div settings.
