Voltage Probe Attenuation Setting
Voltage probes are available with various attenuation factors which affect the
vert
ical scale of the signal. The Probe Check Wizard verifies that the attenuation
factor in the oscilloscope matches the probe.
As a
n alternative m ethod to Probe Check, you can manually select the factor
that matches the attenuation of your probe. For example, to match a probe set
to 10X connected to CH 1, push the Channel 1 Menu ► Probe ► Voltage ►
Attenuation option, and select 10X.
NOTE. The default setting for the Attenuation option is 10X.
