Tip
The signal output from the probe compensation connector can only be used for
probe compensation adjustment and can not be used for calibration.
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.
