To Compensate the Probes
Perform this adjustment to match the characteristics of the probe and the channel
input. This should be performed whenever attaching a probe to any input channel at
the first time.
1. From CH1 menu, set the Probe attenuation to 10X (press CH1
→
Probe
→
10X
).
Set the switch to 10X on the probe and connect it to CH1 of the oscilloscope.
When using the probe hook-tip, inserting the tip into the hook-tip firmly to
ensure a tight connection.
Attach the probe tip to the connector of the Probe compensator and link the
reference wire cramp with the ground connector of the probe compensator,
Select CH1, and then press AUTO.
2. Check the shape of the displayed waveform.

3. If necessary, use a non-metallic tool to adjust the variable capacitor of the probe
for the flattest square wave being displayed on the oscilloscope.
4.
Repeat if necessary.
WARNNING:
To avoid electric shock while using the probe, be sure the
perfection of the insulated cable, and do not touch the metallic portions of
the probe head while it is connected with a voltage source.
