the v oltage range (attenuation) settings of
the probe. The voltage range is indicated by
two LE Ds on the probe and may be displayed

Bandwidth Limit Button and
Indicators
Press the BA NDWIDTH LIMIT button to
limit the probe bandwidth to 5 M Hz. 5 MHz
is close t
o the switching frequency of m ost
switching transistors (FETs) in switch mode
power supplies (SMP S).
The 5 MHz
filter assists in the characterization
and testing of power supplies in switch mode
by removing all high frequency content, noise
and har
monics from the measurement.
Press the button again to return to the FULL
