Probe Attenuation Setting
Probes are available with various attenuation factors which affect the
vertical scale of the signal. The Probe Check function verifies that
the Probe attenuation option matches the attenuation of the probe.
As an alternative method to Probe Check, you can push a vertical
menu button (such as the CH 1 MENU button), and select the Probe
option that matches the attenuation factor of your probe.
NOTE. The default setting for the Probe option is 10X.
Be sure that the Attenuation switch on the P2200 probe matches the
Probe option in the oscilloscope. Switch settings are 1X and 10X.
Attenuation switch
NOTE. When the Attenuation switch is set to 1X, the P2200 probe
limits the bandwidth of the oscilloscope to 7 MHz. To use the full
bandwidth of the oscilloscope, be sure to set the switch to 10X.
