Probe Compensation
Short-Form Compensation Procedure
The short-form compensation procedure given in this section adjusts
for use of the probe on a different oscilloscope input or at a
drastically different temperature than that at which it was calibrated
(a difference greater than ±15_C). The adjustments necessary under
these conditions are accessible through holes in the top cover of the
compensation box.
The long-form procedure is included in the Adjustments section of
Chapter 2. Use the long-form procedure when a part of the probe is
replaced, or when the probe has gone for a long time without
recompensation and cannot be compensated using the short-form
procedure. Should this become necessary, refer compensation to a
qualified service person.
The short-form procedure consists of three parts, which should be
performed in the order listed:
1. Adjust DC attenuation
2. Adjust low-frequency compensation
3. Adjust transient response
Test Equipment Required. The test equipment listed in Table 1–2, or its
equivalent, is required for completion of this procedure. If equipment
is substituted, control settings or test equipment setup may need to
be altered. Any needed maintenance should be performed before
proceeding with compensation. Troubles that become apparent
during compensation should be corrected immediately.
