  • Page 25: Calibration

    Calibration Calibration The probe calibration routine minimizes your measurement errors by optimizing the gain and offset of the probe and oscilloscope combination. We recommend that you repeat the probe calibration on each channel that you use. Individual calibration constants are stored for each probe on each channel. Probe calibration functions are not available on all oscilloscope models.

  • Page 33: Probe Offset And Autozero

    Basic operation Probe offset and AutoZero The probe offset is adjustable to permit operation within the linear range of the probe and to increase the sensitivity of the probe at higher DC measurement voltages. The AutoZero routine eliminates DC offset errors (drift) in the probe signal path, and aligns the offset value of the probe to the oscilloscope.
  • Page 34 Basic operation Offset To set the probe offset, follow these steps: NOTE. See your oscilloscope manual for specific instructions on using the offset control. 1. Use the vertical position control to set a zero reference level on the oscilloscope display. 2.
  • Page 35 Basic operation 3. Attach the probe to the circuit. 4. Adjust the offset to bring the trace to the oscilloscope zero reference. 5. If you change the volts/division setting, adjust the offset to keep the trace on the zero reference level. NOTE.
