Due to the Covid-19 crisis and inaccessibility to labs, I have been given an Analog Discovery kit (legacy version) by my university to use as a waveform generator and oscilloscope. While using the scope functionality, I find that when I connect the W1 and W2 terminals to scope channels I get a -6.3 mV offset (average) in CH1 and a -4.5 mV offset (average) in CH2 even when no waveforms has been generated by the Wavegen tab. When the scope channels are left floating or shorted, the offset voltage reduces to around +500 uV . I have attached screenshots of my Scope window for all three situations.

Hello!
Due to the Covid-19 crisis and inaccessibility to labs, I have been given an Analog Discovery kit (legacy version) by my university to use as a waveform generator and oscilloscope. While using the scope functionality, I find that when I connect the W1 and W2 terminals to scope channels I get a -6.3 mV offset (average) in CH1 and a -4.5 mV offset (average) in CH2 even when no waveforms has been generated by the Wavegen tab. When the scope channels are left floating or shorted, the offset voltage reduces to around +500 uV . I have attached screenshots of my Scope window for all three situations.
I do not have a multimeter to calibrate the kit and I have also tried the solution mentioned in this forum post (https://forum.digilentinc.com/topic/15432-auto-calibrate-for-analog-discovery-2/) but it didn't seem to make a difference. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
