Compensation Adjustment

The attenuation network should be calibrated in order to obtain the correct division ratio. Use a square wave of 1 kHz to calibrate the probe tip or connect the probe to the oscilloscope’s calibration socket to display a few cycles of the waveform. Adjust the trimmer located in the BNC connector in order to obtain a flat-topped square wave.

Maintenance

Disconnect the probe from its voltage source prior to dismantling any part of it. The probe head can be detached from the cable assembly by unplugging the push-fit BNC connector on the probe head. This will enable the user to replace the cable or the head assembly in case of damage. The measuring tip can also be replaced: grip the black screening of the tip with a pair of pliers and pull it away from the probe head. Fit the new tip while making sure that a good electrical contact is established with the probe head.
