Set the Probe Attenuation Coefficient
The probe has several attenuation coefficients, which will influence the vertical
scale factor of the oscilloscope.
The set values of the probe switch are 1X and 10X (see Figure 3- 5).
Figure 3- 5 Attenuation Switch
Caution:
When the attenuation switch is set to 1X, the probe will limit the
bandwidth of the oscilloscope in 5MHz or 6MHz. To use the full
bandwidth of the oscilloscope, the switch must be set to 10X.
Use the Probe Safely
The safety guard ring around the probe body protects your finger against any
electric shock, shown as Figure 3- 6.
