Connecting the Probe to the Oscilloscope
WARNING
Ensure all safety warnings and precautions are followed. Before using the probe,
read the warnings and precautions in
“Safety Information"
on page 15.
Also, take precautions mentioned in
“Protecting the Probe Against Damage
Resulting from Excessive Input"
on page 28.
NOTE
(
When the probe is connected to an oscilloscope channel, the AutoProbe interface
recognizes the probe as an N7026A and automatically configures several settings on
the channel to which the probe is connected.
For instance, the 1 M
Ω
input impedance will be automatically selected on the
oscilloscope, as the probe is plugged into the AutoProbe interface. (With an input
impedance of 50
Ω
, accurate measurements are not possible.)
Also, the probe output sensitivity 0.2 V/A or 1V/A will be automatically selected, as the
probe is plugged into the AutoProbe interface.
