How to ? Low frequency compensate a probe

Low frequency compensate a probe

Use this procedure to compensate passive probes to ensure maximum distortion-free inputs to the

instrument.

1. Connect the probe to Ch 1 on the instrument.

2. Attach the probe tip and reference lead to the probe compensation terminals .

3. Press the Autoset button on the instrument.

4. Adjust the probe

(see page 499) until you see a square wave with a perfectly ﬂattoponthedisplay.

5. See your probe manual for adjustment instructions.
