Probe Safety
Check and observe probe ratings before using probes.
A guard around the P2220 probe body provides a finger barrier for
protection from electric shock.
WARNING. To avoid electric shock when using the probe, keep fingers
behind the guard on the probe body.

Vo ltage Probe Check Wizard
You can use the Probe Check Wizard to verify that a voltage probe is
operating properly. The wizard does not support current probes.
The wizard helps you adjust the compensation for voltage probes
(usually with a screw on the probe body or probe connector) and set the
factor for the Attenuation option for each channel, such as in the CH 1
MENU ► Probe ► Vo l ta g e ► Attenuation option.

Getting Started
You should use the Probe Check Wizard each time you connect a
voltage probe to an input channel.
To use the Probe Check Wizard, push the PROBE CHECK button. If
the voltage probe is connected properly, compensated properly, and the
Attenuation option in the os cill oscope VERTICAL menu is set to match
the probe, the oscilloscope displays a PASSED message at the bottom
of the screen. Otherwise, the oscilloscope displays directions on the
screen to guide you in correcting these problems.
NOTE. The Probe Check Wizard is useful for 1X, 10X, 20X, 50X, and 100X
probes. It is not useful for 500X or 1000X probes, or for probes connected
to the EXT TRIG BNC.
NOTE. When the process is complete, the Probe Check Wizard restores the
oscilloscope settings (other than the Probe option) to what they were before
you pushed the PROBE CHECK button.
To compensate a probe that you plan to use with the EXT TRIG input,
follow these steps:
1. Connect the probe to any input channel BNC, such as to CH 1.
2. Push the PROBE CHECK button and follow the directions on
the screen.
3. After you verify that the probe functions and is compensated
properly, connect the probe to the EXT TRIG BNC.
