Calibrating the Probe on InfiniiVision Oscilloscopes

Always calibrate the probe before making any critical
measurements. A probe calibration removes attenuation
errors, offset errors, and timing delays that are introduced
by the probe. This chapter contains basic calibration
procedures for both Infiniium and InfiniiVision oscilloscopes.
For additional information on the probe calibration refer to
the oscilloscope's user documentation.
CAUTION
Always wear an ESD wrist strap when working with active probes. Not
doing so can result in the probe becoming permanently damaged.
