Probe Compensation
Proper compensation of the probe is required to assure good amplitude
accuracy in the dynamic portions of the waveform being measured. LF
compensation matches the probe to differences in oscilloscope input
capacitance. The LF compensation should always be checked and adjusted as
needed when first connecting a passive probe to the oscilloscope input.
LF compensation is performed by connecting the input of the probe to a low
frequency square wave, such as the oscilloscope calibrator signal set to 1 kHz.
The compensation is adjusted by rotating the trimmer pot accessible through
the small hole in the center of the housing near the BNC connector. Use the
tool supplied with the probe for this adjustment.
