Hello,

I've a Metrix OX8050 oscilloscope that displays a spike on square wave transitions. This is on both channels and the same with AC and DC input. The probe is correctly compensated and it's the same when injecting an external 1kHz square wave through a coaxial cable. Any ideas? Thanks

If the calibration signal looks like that, how can you know the probe is correctly compensated? - it looks very much like it isn't, perhaps the probe is faulty?.

Is the probe just x10, or is it switchable x1/x10?.
