Getting Started
Compensate Passive Probes
Each oscilloscope passive probe must be compensated to match the input
characteristics of the oscilloscope channel to which it is connected. A poorly
compensated probe can introduce significant measurement errors.
1
Input the Probe Comp signal (see

Press
[Default Setup]
to recall the default oscilloscope setup (see

Press
[Auto Scale]
to automatically configure the oscilloscope for the Probe
Comp signal (see

, etc.).

In the Channel Menu, press
Probe
.
6
In the Channel Probe Menu, press
Probe Check
; then, follow the instructions
on-screen.
If necessary, use a nonmetallic tool (supplied with the probe) to adjust the
trimmer capacitor on the probe for the flattest pulse possible.
On some probes (like the N2140/42A probes), the trimmer capacitor is located
on the probe BNC connector. On other probes (like the N2862/63/90 probes),
the trimmer capacitor is a yellow adjustment on the probe tip.
7
Connect probes to all other oscilloscope channels.

Repeat the procedure for each channel.
