To set up Probe Attenuation
The oscilloscope allows selecting the attenuation factor for the probe. The
attenuation factor changes the vertical scaling of the oscilloscope so that the
measurement results reflect the actual voltage levels at the probe tip.
To change (or check) the probe attenuation setting, press the CH1, CH2, CH3 or
CH4 button (according to which channel is in using). Toggle the Probe soft button to
match the attenuation factor of the probe.
This setting remains in effect until changed again.
Figure 2-8 shows an example for using a 1000:1 probe and its attenuation factor.
