The probe calibration menu can be accessed from the Vertical drop-down menu or from the channel
dialog:
Figure 3. Accessing the probe c alibration menu
Figure 4. Basic Probes Calibration menu
The information in the probe calibration menu is organized such that each row represents the information
for a given channel, and each column represents the calibration information or control for that channel.

Depending on the compliance test that is to be performed, probes must connect with certain channels.
This is especially important when probes of different models are used simultaneously. The connection
setup for a particular test can be found in the pop-up dialog box after pressing the start button in Qualiphy.
Should probes be calibrated on the wrong channel, this procedure must be rerun.
Complete the following to properly deskew each probe.
1. Connect probes to their respective channel.
2. Select FastEdge for Cal Source.
3. Select EXT for for Cal Skew Ref.
The following is to be performed separately with each probe.
