Probe Compensation

When the probes are used for the first time, you should compensate the probes to
match the input channels of the oscilloscope. Non-compensated or poorly
compensated probes may cause measurement inaccuracy and error. The probe
compensation procedures are as follows.
1. Perform steps 1, 2, 3 and 4 of "Function Inspection" in the previous section.
2. Check the displayed waveforms and compare them with the following figures.
Over compensated
3. Use a nonmetallic driver to adjust the low-frequency compensation adjustment
hole on the probe until the displayed waveform is as the "Correctly
compensated" in the figure above.
