3-5-9. Select Probe Attenuation Level
Background
An oscilloscope probe has an attenuation switch to
lower the original DUT signal level to the
oscilloscope input range, if necessary. The probe
attenuation selection adjusts the vertical scale so
that the voltage level on the display reflects the
real value on a DUT.
Panel Operation 1. Press the
Channel
key.
CH1
2. Press
Probe
from the bottom
menu.
3. Press
Attenuation
on the side
menu and use the Variable knob to
set the attenuation.
Alternatively, press
Set to 10X
.
Range
1mX ~1kX (1-2-5 step)
Note
The attenuation factor adds no influence on the
real signal. It just changes the voltage/current
scale on the display.
3-5-10. Set the Deskew
Background
The deskew function is used to compensate for the
propagation delay between the oscilloscope and
the probe.
Panel Operation 1. Press one of the
Channel
keys.
CH1
2. Press
Probe
from the bottom
menu.
3. Press
Deskew
on the side menu
and use the Variable knob to set
the deskew time.
Alternatively, press
Set to 0s
to
reset the deskew time.
Range
-50ns~50ns, 10ps increments
4. Repeat the procedure for another channel if
necessary.
