3. To set up Probe Attenuation

The oscilloscope allows selecting the attenuation factor for the probe. The
attenuation factor changes the vertical scaling of the oscilloscope so that the
measurement results reflect the actual voltage levels at the probe tip. Figure 2-8
shows an example for using a 1000:1 probe and its attenuation factor.
