Using the probe compensation signal
Background
This section introduces how to use
the probe compensation signal for
general usage, in case the DUT
signal is not available or to get a
second signal for comparison. For
probe compensation details, see
page 132.
Note: The frequency accuracy and duty factor are
not guaranteed. Therefore the signal should not be
used for reference purposes.
Waveform type
Square waveform used for probe
compensation. 1k ~ 100kHz, 5% ~
95%.
Demonstration signal for showing
the effects of peak detection. See page
