frequency defaults at 1kHz. 
 
 
(4) Function Check 
Press AUTO (auto setting) button, square wave appears on the display screen, the wave 
range  is about  3Vpp  and the  frequency is 1kHz.  Go back  to step  3 and check other 
channels in a same way. If the actual displayed waveform is different from above figure, 
please go to next step “Probe Compensation”. 
 
(5) Probe Compensation 
When connecting the probe with any input channel for the first time, it is required to make 
adjustment  for  this  item,  matching  the  probe  with  input  channel.  Probe  without  being 
compensated  and  corrected  will  lead  to  measurement  error  or  mistake.  In  case  of 
adjustment of probe compensation, follow the following steps:   
  Set the probe menu attenuation coefficient as 10×, place the switch on the probe 
at 10× and connect DSO probe with CH1. If hook-shape head of probe is used, 
please  make  sure  that  it  contacts  the  probe.  Connect  the  probe  to  the  probe 
compensator of DSO, connect the grounding clamp to the “Grounding terminal” of 
probe compensator, turn on CH1 and press AUTO.

  If screen displays “under-compensation” or “over-compensation” for waveform as 
shown  in  above  figures,  use  screwdriver  with  nonmetal  handle  to  adjust  the 
variable capacitance on the probe until screen displays “correct compensation” for 
waveform as shown in the above figure.
