Safe Use Of Probe - Owon HDS272S User Manual

Note: The preset setting of the probe attenuation coefficient in the
menu when the oscilloscope is delivered is 10X. Make sure
that the attenuation switch setting value on the probe is the
same as the probe attenuation coefficient option in the
oscilloscope menu.
The setting value of the probe switch is 1X and 10X. See Figure 04.
Note: When the attenuation switch is set to 1X, the probe limits the
bandwidth of the oscilloscope to 5 MHz. To use the full
bandwidth of the oscilloscope, be sure to set the switch to
10X.
