Agilent 10400B Series Miniature Passive Oscilloscope Probes
Safety considerations
Safety considerations
W A R N I N G
SHOCK HAZARD!
These probes are designed for use with oscilloscopes that have a common
terminal at
GROUND POTENTIAL
(in accordance with OSHA requirements and
the National Electric Code). Exposed metallic surfaces of the probe and the
oscilloscope
MUST BE GROUNDED
. Failure to ground the common terminal
during certain applications, such as those requiring the oscilloscope to be
powered from an external battery, might expose the operator to an electrical
shock hazard that could be lethal (depending on voltage and current
conditions.)
Cleaning the probe
If the Agilent 10400B Series Probe requires cleaning, disconnect it from all power
sources and clean it with a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water
solution. Make sure the probe is completely dry before reconnecting it to a power
source.
To connect oscilloscope probes
1
Attach the probe connector to the desired oscilloscope channel.
2
Connect the probe to the circuit using any of the probing aids.
To operate the probe
When operating the Agilent 10400B Series Probes, these additional parts can
help:
• SMD Clip
The SMD clip lets you connect the Agilent 10400B Series Probe to SMT
parts with dual lead adapter. See “Available accessories” described earlier
for more information.
• BNC-to-Probe Tip Adapter
This tip adapter lets you attach the probe to a BNC cable.
• Spring Ground
The spring ground attaches to the probe to make ground contact with the
circuit board, while letting you angle and maneuver the probe around an
area.
