c. Save the probe compensation signal in reference memory:

H Press SAVE/RECALL WAVEFORM; then press the main-menu

button Save Wfm Ch 1.

H Press the side-menu button To Ref 1 to save the probe compensation

signal in reference 1.

H Disconnect the cable from CH 1 and the clips from the probe

compensation terminals.

H Press MORE; then press the main-menu button Ref 1 to displayed

the stored signal.

H Press CH 1.

d. Hook up the DC standard source:

H Set the output of a DC calibration generator to 0 volts.

H Connect the output of a DC calibration generator through a

dual-banana connector followed by a 50 W precision coaxial cable to

one side of a BNC T connector. See Figure 1–24.
