1.3.3 Probe Attenuation Setting

Probes are available with various attenuation factors which affect the vertical

scale of the signal. The Probe Check function verifies that the Probe attenuation

option matches the attenuation of the probe.

You can push a vertical menu button (such as the CH 1 MENU button), and

select the Probe option that matches the attenuation factor of your probe.

Note. The default setting for the Probe option is 1X.

Be sure that the attenuation switch on the probe matches the Probe option in the

oscilloscope. Switch settings are 1X and 10X.

Note. When the attenuation switch is set to 1X, the probe limits the bandwidth of the

oscilloscope to 10MHz. To use the full bandwidth of the oscilloscope, be sure to set the

switch to 10X
