Solution
NI's recommendation is to always use the accessory probe included with the VirtualBench All-In-One Instrument.
The following table shows the compatible NI oscilloscope probes for each VirtualBench All-In-One Instrument model.

Fully compatible: The probe will be compatible with the VirtualBench oscilloscope bandwidth and voltage range.
Limited Range: The probe voltage limit is lower than the VirtualBench, the complete oscilloscope bandwidth will be used.
Not compatible: The probe is not compatible with the oscilloscope bandwidth.
Note (1): Due to the 1:100 SP500C attenuation ratio, the bandwidth using this probe could be limited
