Low-frequency adjustment
Compensation Adjustments
These probes can be adjusted for low-frequency and high-frequency compensation. For the
best measurement results you should compensate your probe to match its characteristics to
the oscilloscope. A poorly compensated probe can introduce measurement errors. Low-fre-
quency compensation should be performed before performing high-frequency compensation.
Low-frequency compensation
1. Connect the probe from the appropriate oscilloscope channel to the 1-kHz square wave
source.
2. Press Autoscale. Adjust the oscilloscope to display two to three cycles of the waveform
over two to six vertical divisions.
3. Set the low-frequency (LF) compensation adjustment on the probe for the flattest pulse
possible (see Figure 3).
