3. Probe Attenuation Setting
Select the attenuation factor for the probe. The attenuation factor changes the
vertical scale 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 or CH2 button
(according to which channel are in using), toggle the Probe soft button to match the
attenuation factor of the probe.
This setting remains in effect until changed again.
Figure 2-6 gives an example for using a 1:1000 probe and its attenuation factor.
