Figure 2-18
An improper way to disconnect a probe head from an amplifier
To see if the pins in the probe amplifier are bent, visually inspect them by looking
in the sockets on the amplifier. Notice in
Figure 2-19
that the pins are straight (as
they should be).
Figure 2-19
Straight pins in an amplifier
If you connect and disconnect probe heads using the appropriate method, these
pins should not bend. Always remember to apply enough force to pull the probe
head straight out or push it straight in. Do not wiggle, twist, or bend it in any way.
