Probe Compensation
When the probes are used for the first time, you should compensate the probes to
make them match the input channels of the oscilloscope. Non-compensated or
poorly compensated probes may cause measurement inaccuracy or errors. The
probe compensation procedures are as follows:
1. Perform Step 1, 2, 3 and 4 specified in "Function Inspection".
2. Check the displayed waveforms and compare them with Figure 1-10.
Figure 1-10 Probe Compensation
3. Use a nonmetallic screwdriver to adjust the low-frequency compensation
adjustment hole on the probe until the waveform is displayed as "Perfectly
compensated" in the figure above.
Tip
The probe compensation signal can only be used for probe compensation
adjustment and cannot be used for calibration.
