P5100A Adjustments
DC Gain and High Frequency (HF) Compensation
Precision or high-frequency compensation is not a common user adjustment. However, precision compensation should be
checked if the probe was repaired or if any of the following conditions are true:
The probe has excessive high-frequency aberrations.
You have installed the probe on an oscilloscope having an input capacitance near the limits of the probe compensation
range.
To perform the high-frequency compensation adjustment you will need a signal source that has all of the following
characteristics:
Fast rise output with rise time
≤
500 ps
Output properly terminated
The Picosecond Labs 2600C Pulse Generator output meets these requirements when properly terminated.
