Probe Compensation

When used for the first time, the oscilloscope probe must be compensated to match

the input characteristics of the oscilloscope channel to which it is connected. The

non-compensated or poorly compensated probe may cause measurement errors. The

compensation procedure is as follows:

1. Perform Step 1, 2, 3 and 4 in Function Inspection.

2. Check the displayed waveforms and compare them with the waveforms shown in

Figure 5.7

3. Use the probe compensation adjustment tool provided in the accessories to adjust

the low-frequency compensation adjustment hole on the probe until the displayed

waveform is consistent with the "Perfectly compensated" waveform shown in the

above figure.
