Probe Attenuation Setting
Probes are available with various attenuation factors which affect the
vertical scale of the signal.
To change (or check) the probe attenuation setting, press the
VERTICAL MENU button (of the channel you are using), and then
press the menu selection next to Probe until the correct setting is
displayed.
This setting remains in effect until changed again.
NOTE
. The default Probe menu attenuation setting is 10X when the
oscilloscope is shipped.
Be sure that the Attenuation switch on the P2100 probe is set to
match the Probe menu selection in the oscilloscope. The probe
switch settings are 1X and 10X.
Attenuation switch
NOTE . When the Attenuation switch is set to 1X, the P2100 probe
limits the bandwidth of the oscilloscope to 7 MHz. To use the full
bandwidth of the oscilloscope, be sure to set the switch to 10X.
