Always calibrate the probe before making any critical measurements. A probe
calibration removes attenuation errors, offset errors, and timing delays that are
introduced by the probe. This chapter contains basic calibration procedures for
the supported Infiniium oscilloscopes. For additional information on the probe
calibration, refer to the oscilloscope's user documentation.
Always wear an ESD wrist strap when working with active probes. Not doing so can result
CAUTION
in the probe becoming permanently damaged.
