You use this menu option to match a
probe type of Voltage or Current. For
voltage probes this menu option is used
to match the probe attenuation of 1X,
10X, 20X, 50X, 100X, 500X, or 1000X.
For current probes this menu option is
used to set the probe attenuation of
0.2X, 1X, 2X, 5X, 10X, 50X, 100X,
1000x.
Warning: For safety, this menu must be
set correctly when working with high
voltages. For example, if you are using
the P2220 probe set to 10X, and this
menu is set to 1X, the oscilloscope will
incorrectly show a 20-volt signal on the
screen (safe to touch) when there is a
200-volt signal connected (not safe).
Note: When the attenuation switch of the
P2220 probe is set to 1X, the bandwidth
of the probe is limited to about 7 MHz.
To use full bandwidth of the
oscilloscope, be sure to set the P2200
probe's switch to 10X.
