Basic operation
Probe offset and AutoZero
The probe offset is adjustable to permit operation within the linear range of the probe and to increase the sensitivity of the probe at
higher DC measurement voltages. The AutoZero routine eliminates DC offset errors (drift) in the probe signal path, and aligns the
offset value of the probe to the oscilloscope. We recommend that you perform the AutoZero routine
fi
rst (accessible through the
probe Menu button), and then adjust the offset to achieve optimal probe performance.

that you intend to use before you execute the
AutoZero routine.
