Getting Started
You should use t
he Probe Check Wizard each time you connect a voltage probe to
an input channel.
To use the Prob
e Check Wizard, push the PROBE CHECK button. If the voltage
probe is connected properly, compensated properly, and the Attenuation option in
the oscilloscope Vertical menu is set to match the probe, the oscilloscope displays
a PASSED message at the bottom of the screen. Otherwise, the oscilloscope
displays directions on the screen to guide you in correcting these problems.
NOTE. The Probe Check Wizard is useful for 1X, 10X, 20X, 50X, and 100X
probes. It
is not useful for 500X or 1000X probes, or for probes connected to
the Ext Trig BNC.
NOTE. Wh
en the process is complete, the Probe Check Wizard restores the
oscilloscope settings (other than the Probe option) to what they were before you
pushed the PROBE CHECK button.
To comp
ensate a probe that you plan to use with the Ext Trig input, follow these
steps:
1. Conne
ct the probe to any input channel BNC, such as to channel 1.
2. Push the PROBE CHECK button and follow the directions on the screen.
3. After you verify that the probe functions and is compensated properly, connect
the probe to the Ext Trig BNC.
