Probe Compensation
Short-Form Compensation Procedure
The short-form compensation procedure given in this section adjusts
for use of the probe on a different oscilloscope input or at a
drastically different temperature than that at which it was calibrated
(a difference greater than ±15_C). The adjustments necessary under
these conditions are accessible through holes in the top cover of the
compensation box.
The long-form proce dure i s included in the Adjustments section of
Chapter 2. Use the l ong-form procedure when a part of the probe is
replaced, or when the probe has gone for a long time without
recompensati on and cannot be compensated using the short-form
procedure. Should this bec ome necessary, re fer comp ensation to a
qualified service person.
The short-form procedure consists of t hree pa rts, which should be
performed in the order listed:
1. Adjust DC attenuation
2. Adjust low-frequency c ompensati on
3. Adjust transient response
Test Equipment Required. The test equipment listed in Table 1 --2, or its
equivalent, is required for completion of this procedure. If equipment
is substituted, control settings or test equipment setup may need to
be altered. Any ne eded m ainte nance should be performed before
proceeding with compensation. Troubles t hat become apparent
during compensation should be corrected immediately.
