Note: The default setting for the Probe option is 1X.
Be sure that the attenuation switch on the probe matches the
Probe option in the oscilloscope. The included probes can
switch between 1X and 10X.
Note: When the attenuation switch is set to 1X, the
probe limits the bandwidth of the oscilloscope to

bandwidth of the oscilloscope, be sure to set the
switch to 10X.
1.8 Probe Compensation
Perform this adjustment to match your probe to the input
channel. This should be done whenever you attach a passive
