(2) Select Probe in the bottom menu; select Attenu in the right menu, select
the proper value corresponding to the probe in the left menu.
This setting will be valid all the time before it is changed again.
Caution:
The default attenuation coefficient of the probe on the instrument is
preset to 10X.
Make sure that the set value of the attenuation switch in the probe is
the same as the menu selection of the probe attenuation coefficient in
the oscilloscope.
The set values of the probe switch are 1X and 10X (see Figure 3-8).
Caution:
When the attenuation switch is set to 1X, the probe will limit the
bandwidth of the oscilloscope in 5MHz. To use the full bandwidth of
the oscilloscope, the switch must be set to 10X.
