Maintenance
Low-Frequency Probe Compensation
Before taking any measurements using a probe. first check the
compensation
of the probe and adjust it to match the channel input s.
Most oscilloscopes have a square wave reference signal available at
a terminal on the front panel used to compensate the pro be. Connect
the probe to the signal source to display a I kH z te st signal on your
oscilloscope.
Compensate the probe
by adjusting L on the probe so th at the corners
of the square wave are squa re.

High-Frequency Probe Compensation

The probe high-frequency compensation should seldom require
adjustment; however. your probe may require high-frequency
adjustment if a
ny of the following a re true:
• the pro
be has hi gh-frequency aberratio ns
• the probe doesn't perform at the rated bandwidth
• y
ou have in stalled rhe probe on an o sc illoscope having an input
capacitance near the limits of
the pr o be compensation range (See
Table I
.)
To perfo rm the hi gh-frequency compensation adjustment you w ill
need a sig nal so ur ce that has all of the following charac teri stic s:

Cleaning
To prevent damage to probe materials. avoid using chemi c al s that
contain benzine, benzene, toluene, xylene. aceto

solvents.
Do not immer se the probe or use abrasive cleaners.
Dirt
may be removed with a so ft cloth dampened with a mild
deter
ge nt and water so lutio n. or isop ro pyl alcohol.
