a. One period of the square-wave probe-compensation signal is about five
horizontal divisions on-screen for the 200 s horizontal scale setting (set
in step 1c).
b. Rotating the horizontal SCALE knob clockwise expands the waveform
on-screen (more horizontal divisions per waveform period), counter-
clockwise rotation contracts it, and returning the horizontal scale to
200 s returns the period to about five divisions.
c. The horizontal POSITION knob positions the signal left and right
on-screen when rotated.
3. Remove the test hookup: Disconnect the probe from the channel input and
the probe-compensation terminals.
