2 Using Probe Heads
Using N2884A Fine-Wire ZIF tips
■
N2884- 64703 (Wentworth 5- 00- 4711 Short Nose
Articulated Short Arm Front)
NOTE While Agilent recommends using the Wentworth micropositioner, the Fine
Wire ZIF positioner arm is compatible with many micropositioners as long
as the thumb nut has enough threads to firmly secure the positioner arm.

Step 4. Secure the
Micropositioner
When the Fine Wire ZIF tips are attached to the probe head,
it is important that the micropositioner is properly secured.
It is nose- heavy so if the surface it is on does not allow its
magentic base to secure it, the micropositioner will tip over
and damage the ZIF tip. Therefore, you need to place the
micropositioner on a metallic surface and ensure that its
metallic base is indeed secured so it will not tip over.
Step 5. Attach the Probe
Head to Probe Amplifier
Once the Fine Wire ZIF tip is attached to the probe head, it
will be extremely important that you are careful with the
entire setup (so you do not crush or damage the wires).
Therefore, it is usually easiest to connect the probe head to
