Click 

Setup

 > 

<probe channel>

 and set the scale for the probe channel to 

2.5 

V/Div

. In this example, probe channel is 

Channel 2

. Then close the dialog box.

9

Click 

Control

 > 

Clear Display

 to clear the oscilloscope display.

10

Use Marker to evaluate the results.

a

The marker (M1 in this case) should still be on screen. Slide it to the new 

crossing point of f4 and f2.

b

Record the Horizontal Marker value. This represents the -3 dB BW of the 

probe in the low attenuation state. In the example below, it is 1.78 GHz.

11

Confirm that the measured bandwidth is above the rated bandwidth for your 

probe model.
