Probe Compensation - Rigol DS7000 Series Quick Manual

Tip
The signal output from the probe compensation connector can only be used
for probe compensation adjustment and cannot be used for calibration.

Probe Compensation

When the probes are used for the first time, you should compensate the probes to
match the input channels of the oscilloscope. Non-compensated or poorly
compensated probes may cause measurement inaccuracy or errors. The probe
compensation proceduresare as follows:
1. Perform Step 1, 2, 3 and 4 specified in"Function Inspection".
2. Check the displayed waveforms and compare them with the waveforms in the
following figure.

3. Use a nonmetallic driver to adjust the low-frequency compensation adjustment
hole on the probe until the displayed waveform is displayed as the
"Perfectlycompensated"in the figure above.
