This is a fairly short blog post from us, however...this video on how to set up probes from Tektronix is so helpful, we just had to share it with you guys.

Anyone can twiddle the knobs on a scope and get something. And there’s always “Autoset” in a pinch. But do you know how to compensate a probe? How about the difference between a 1X and 10X probe? Do you know what AC coupling can do for you? Once you get the vertical controls figured out, the horizontal controls are easy.
