3.3 Getting Started
1.
Connect the hook probes to the leads.
2.
Connect the probe to the oscilloscope with the BNC cable.
When using a portable or ungrounded oscilloscope, connect
the output ground lead to ground.
3.
Switch the probe “ON.”
4.
Switch to the desired attenuation ratio.
5.
Use the hook probes to contact the circuit to be tested.
CAUTION
This probe is used to carry out differential measurements between
two points on the circuit under test. This probe is not for electrically
insulating the circuit under test and the measuring instrument.
3.4 Overrange Indicator
The overrange indicator lights when the voltage of the input signal
exceeds the linear operating range of the probe. When this happens,
the signal on the probe output may not accurately represent the signal
on the probe input.
