Compensating a Passive Voltage Probe
Whenever you attach a passive voltage probe for the first time to any input channel, compensate the probe to match it to
the corresponding oscilloscope input channel.
To properly compensate your passive probe:
1. Follow the steps for the functional
check. (See page 10, Functional

3. If necessary, adjust your probe.
Repeat as needed.
Quick Tips
Use the shortest possible ground lead
and signal path to minimize probe-induced
ringing and distortion on the measured
signal.
