DESCRIPTION
The CP6000 family of AC/DC current probes enables oscilloscope instruments to
display AC, DC, and AC+DC current measurements up to 100 amps peak
(CP6220) and frequencies up to 1.5 MHz (CP6990). Using supplied BNC to
Banana plug adapter (CT3956) the current probes will work with most modern
Digital Multimeter (DMM).

measurements unless your instrument cannot isolate a DC component, if present.
