Selecting the Probe Attenuation or Current-to-Voltage Conversion Ratio
3.
Press the
Next 1/2
soft key.
4.
Press the
Probe
soft key.
5.
Press the soft key corresponding to the desired attenuation ratio or current-to-
voltage conversion ratio according to the probe that you are using.
Select the probe attenuation or
current-to-voltage conversion ratio
Explanation
Select the desired setting for each channel from the following:
1:1, 10:1, 100:1, 1000:1, 10A:1V, or 100A:1V
• 1:1 to 1000:1 represent the probe attenuation for voltage probes.
• 10A:1V and 100:1V represent the output voltage rate of current probes.
Set the probe attenuation for the accessory probes (sold separately) as follows:
• Isolated probe (700929):
10:1
• Current probe (701933):
10A:1V
• Current probe (701930 and 701931):
100A:1V
• Differential Probe (700924):
1000:1 or 100:1
• 10:1 passive probe (701940):
10:1
Note
If the attenuation or current-to-voltage conversion ratio is not set correctly according to the probe
that you are using, the voltage and scale values of the input signals will not be displayed
correctly. For example, if you set the attenuation to 1:1 when you are actually using a 10:1
probe, the displayed value for the waveform amplitude will be 1/10th the actual value.
