UNI-T Passive Probe Check: Is it the Signal or the Probe?

In this video, we show you how to check your UNI-T oscilloscope probes and verify your oscilloscope’s performance to make sure you are getting accurate readings.

This quick troubleshooting guide is based on a real customer case where an oscilloscope was returned — but the issue turned out to be something surprisingly simple! You will learn how to:

✅Test your oscilloscope probes using the probe compensator output

✅Perform a continuity check with a digital multimeter to identify connection issues

✅Properly connect your probe accessories to ensure a solid electrical connection

✅Adjust probe compensation using the included trimmer tool

✅Use the zoom and touchscreen features on UNI-T oscilloscopes for detailed signal inspection

Pro Tip: Before assuming your oscilloscope is faulty, always check your probes first.

A loose connection or improperly seated probe can cause false readings.
