Voltage Probe Check Wizard

You can use the Probe Check Wizard to verify that a voltage probe is
operating properly. The wizard does not support current probes.
The wizard helps you adjust the compensation for voltage probes
(usually with a screw on the probe body or probe connector) and set
the factor for the Attenuation option for each channel, such as in the
CH 1 MENU
You should use the Probe Check Wizard each time you connect a
voltage probe to an input channel.
To use the Probe Check Wizard, push the PROBE CHECK button. If
the voltage probe is connected properly, compensated properly, and
the Attenuation option in the oscilloscope VERTICAL menu is set to
match the probe, the oscilloscope displays a PASSED message at the
bottom of the screen. Otherwise, the oscilloscope displays directions
on the screen to guide you in correcting these problems.
NOTE. The Probe Check Wizard is useful for 1X, 10X, 20X, 50X, and
100X voltage probes. It is not useful for 500X or 1000X probes, or
for probes connected to the EXT TRIG BNC.
