To specify the probe attenuation
For correct measurements, you must match the oscilloscope’s probe
attenuation factor settings with the attenuation factors of the probes being
used.
The probe attenuation factor setting changes the vertical scaling of the
oscilloscope so that the measurement results reflect the actual voltage
levels at the probe tip.
1 If the channel’s menu is not currently displayed, press the channel
button (1
, 2).
2 In the Channel menu, press Probe to select between:
• 1X — for 1:1 probes.
• 10X — for 10:1 probes.
• 100X — for 100:1 probes.
• 1000X — for 1000:1 probes.
Figure 21 shows an example selecting the probe attenuation factor for a
1000:1 probe.
