•Probe Units — Press the Units softkey to select the proper measurement unit for the connected probe. Select Volts for a voltage probe and select Amps for a current probe. Channel sensitivity, trigger level, measurement results, and math functions will reflect the measurement units you have selected.

•Probe Attenuation Factor— See “To set the probe attenuation factor” on page 81.

•Skew — When measuring time intervals in the ns range, small differences in cable length can affect the measurement. Use Skew to remove cable-delay errors between any two channels.

Probe the same point with both probes, then press Skew and turn the Entry knob to enter the amount of skew between channels. Each analog channel can be adjusted ±100 ns in 10 ps increments for a total of 200 ns difference.

The skew setting is reset to zero when you press
