 +<note>The ADALM1000 (Rev. F version) has the ability to separate the voltage measurement connection from the voltage / current output pin, the Split I/O mode control in the AWG settings. The size of the parasitic capacitance is significantly different when using the CH A/B pins in Hi-Z mode vs using the AIN/BIN pins. The required external compensation capacitor value will be very different between the two pins. </note>

-A 10X passive oscilloscope probe uses a series resistor (9 MΩ) to provide a 10:1 attenuation when it is used with the 1 MΩ input impedance of the scope itself. A 1 MΩ impedance is standard for most oscilloscope inputs This enables scope probes to be interchanged between oscilloscopes from different manufacturers. Figure is the schematic for a typical 10X probe. 10X oscilloscope probes also allow some amount of frequency compensation to allow for variations in the scope channel input capacitance. A capacitor divider network is designed into the probe as shown. The adjustable capacitor connected to ground can then be used to equalize the frequency response of the probe.+A 10X passive oscilloscope probe uses a series resistor (9 MΩ) to provide a 10:1 attenuation when it is used with the 1 MΩ input impedance of the scope itself.
