HConnect the Sense output of the generator through a second
dual-banana connector followed by a 50 W precision coaxial cable to
the other side of the BNC T connector. Now connect the BNC T
connector to CH 1. See Figure 1–24.

e. Measure amplitude of the probe compensation signal:
HPress SHIFT; then press ACQUIRE MENU. Press the side-menu
button AVERAGE then enter 16 using the keypad or the general
purpose knob.
HAdjust the output of the DC calibration generator until it precisely
overlaps the top (upper) level of the stored probe compensation
signal. (This value will be near 500 mV).
HRecord the setting of the DC generator.
HAdjust the output of the DC calibration generator until it precisely
overlaps the base (lower) level of the stored probe compensation
signal. (This value will be near zero volts).
HRecord the setting of the DC generator.
f. Press CLEAR MENU to remove the menus from the display. See
Figure 1–25.
