That alleges they are clones of the Tek P6100

So, as near as I can tell, the probes are all right,
at least they all act the same. But what causes the
distorted square wave at the 1x setting?


All scopes have a basic input impedance. For a 1:1
probe to "look right" the probe has to match that.
Mostly it's a matter of the scopes input stage being
properly compensated for the probe's cable.

Can this basic input impedence be adjusted? Should it be?
