Oscilloscope Measurement Category

The Keysight P9241/42/43A oscilloscopes are not intended to be used for 

measurements in Measurement Category II, III, or IV.

Measurement Category Definitions

The "Not rated for CAT II, III, IV" measurement category is for measurements 

performed on circuits not directly connected to MAINS. Examples are 

measurements on circuits not derived from MAINS, and specially protected 

(internal) MAINS derived circuits. In the latter case, transient stresses are variable; 

for that reason, the transient withstand capability of the equipment is made known 

to the user.

WARNING

Use this instrument only for measurements within its specified measurement 

category (not rated for CAT II, III, IV). No transient overvoltages allowed.
