Probe Compensation
Due to variations in oscilloscope input characteristics, probe
low-frequency compensation may need adjustment after moving the
probe from one oscilloscope to another. If a 1 kHz calibrated square
wave displayed at 1 ms/division shows significant differences
between the leading and trailing edges, perform the following steps
to optimize low-frequency compensation.
1. Connect the probe to the calibration signal on the oscilloscope
front panel.
2. Press AUTOSET or otherwise adjust your digitizing oscilloscope
to display a meaningful waveform.
3. Adjust the trimmer in the probe until you see a perfectly flat-top
square wave on the display. See Figure 1.
