Keysight Technologies E5400-Pro Series Soft Touch Connectorless Probes User’s Guide

Overview, Installation, and Selection of Probing Options

Ensure proper keying by aligning the Keysight logo on the probe with

the one on the retention module and place the probe end into the

retention module.

6 Alternate turning each screw on the probe a little until both screws are

finger tight like you would attach a cable to your PC.
