How To Set The Probe Attenuation Coefficient - PeakTech 1215 Bedienungsanleitung

6. How to Set the Probe Attenuation Coefficient

The probe has several attenuation coefficients, which will influence the vertical scale factor of the
oscilloscope.
If it is required to change (check) the set value of the probe attenuation coefficient, press the function
menu button of the channels used, then push down the selection button corresponding to the probe till the
correct set value is shown.
This setting will be valid all the time before it is changed again.
Note: The attenuation coefficient of the probe in the menu is preset to 10X when the oscilloscope is
delivered from the factory.
Make sure that the set value of the attenuation switch in the probe is the same as the menu selection of
the probe in the oscilloscope.
The set values of the probe switch are 1X and 10X (see Fig. 9).
Fig. 9 Attenuation Switch
Note: When the attenuation switch is set to 1X, the probe will limit the bandwidth of the oscilloscope in
5MHz. If it is needed to use the whole bandwidth of the oscilloscope, the switch must be set to 10X.
