Signal Path Compensation
Signal Path Compensation (SPC) corrects for DC inaccuracies caused by temperature variations and/or long-term drift.
Run the compensation whenever the ambient temperature has changed by more than 10 °C (18 °F) or once a week
if you use vertical settings of 5 mV/division or less. Failure to do so may result in the instrument not meeting warranted
performance levels at those volts/div settings.
To compensate the signal path:
1. Warm up the oscilloscope for at least
20 minutes. Remove all input signals
(probes and cables) from channel inputs.
Input signals with AC components adversely
affect SPC.
2. Push Utility.
