Probe Compensation
When the probes are used for the first time, you should compensate the probes to
match the input channels of the oscilloscope. Non-compensated or poorly
compensated probes may cause measurement inaccuracy and error. The probe
compensation procedures are as follows:
1. Perform step 1, 2, 3 and 4 of “Function Inspection”.
2. Check the displayed waveforms and compare them with the following figures.

3. Use a nonmetallic driver to adjust the low-frequency compensation adjustment
hole on the probe until the displayed waveform is as the “Correctly
compensated” in the figure above.
