Handling
CAUTION
• Since the contact tips are very thin and sharp, handle them with
care.
• Avoid shock to the probe body. Do not bend or pull the cables
excessively. Doing so may damage or disconnect the probe.

ATTENTION
• Les pointes de contact étant très fines et pointues, manipulezles
avec precaution.
• Évitez les chocs sur le corps de la sonde. Ne pliez pas et ne tirez
pas les câbles de manière excessive. Cela pourrait endommager
ou déconnecter la sonde.
Adjustment Procedures
LF Compensation
LF needs to be adjusted when the probe is connected to the scope input
the first time. LF compensation matches the probes cable capacitance to
the oscilloscope input capacitance. This matching assures good amplitude
accuracy from DC to upper bandwidth limit frequencies. A poorly compensated
probe clearly influences the overall system performance (probe + scope) and
introduces measurement errors resulting in inaccurate readings and distorted
waveforms.
LF compensation is performed by connecting the probe to the COMP-output on
the oscilloscope and adjust the LF compensation trimmer (see also the Figs.
below.) optimum square wave response.
