The probe has a variety of attenuation coefficients, which will affect the vertical
position factor of the oscilloscope.
To change (check) the set value of probe attenuation coefficient in the
oscilloscope menu, please follow the steps below:
(1) Press the C H 1 /C H 2 key to switch the channel to be used.
(2) Press the F 3 to select the desired attenuation coefficient. This setting is
valid until it is changed again.
