Oscilloscope Probe Settings

Hello, I have acquired a Philips PM3232 10MHz oscilloscope, and it did not come with probes.



I bought a 100MHz HP 10071A probe and supposedly I need to set it to the correct capacitance. It has an orange button on the probe, near the BNC connector marked "REF" and a set screw for the variable capacitor. How would I set this?



Thanks, Zach

Hook it to a square wave source and adjust for a square wave on the screen.
