DP0001A Settings in the Oscilloscope User Interface

After making hardware connections, perform the following steps in the Infiniium
oscilloscope software GUI to configure probe settings such as attenuation ratio
and DC offset and gain calibration. These settings are required to get accurate
measurement results.

Setting the Attenuation Mode

The probe supports four attenuation modes. An Infiniium oscilloscope
automatically switches the attenuation mode for the probe to the value
necessary to make the dynamic range of the probe greater than or equal to the
level required to measure the current input signal.
The automatic switching of probe's attenuation also helps in preventing the
overvoltage condition on the probe.
The Attenuation Setting LED on the probe indicates the currently set attenuation.
You can also view the currently set attenuation in the Infiniium GUI's Probe
Configuration dialog box as displayed below.
