Grabber Tip Figure 3 Ground clip Figure 4: Left is an under compensated probe and right is an over compensated probe. Figure 5: A correctly compensated probe.
The probes that come with the TBS1052B-EDU are x10 probes. This means a 10 volt peak to peak signal will come into the oscilloscope at 1 volt peak to peak. Because we know the signal is actually 10 times larger, the oscilloscope is defaulted to show the signal it receives as 10 times the actual input.
