1.6. Probix accessories
1.6.1. Probix concept
ScopiX uses Probix intelligent probes and sensors ,
which are recognized automatically when connected, giving
the user active safety.
At the time of connection to an input of the oscilloscope, a
safety message (in English) concerning the probe or sensor
used indicates:

its maximum input voltage as a function of the category

its maximum voltage with respect to earth as a function of
the category

its maximum voltage between channels as a function of
the category

its type

its elementary specifications

the use of suitable safety leads.

For the safety of both the user and the instrument, this information must be heeded.
The trace colour of the signal measured with a given accessory is parameterized in the menu: "Green"

"chX"

"Probix".
An interchangeable elastic or plastic ring is used to associate the colour of the probe and the colour of the curve.
Scaling and units are managed automatically by the
Probix system, allowing rapid measurements with no risk of error.
1.6.2. Rapid, error-free measurements
The Probix system ensures rapid and error-free setting up of the instrument, which is essential for instruments used for
trouble-shooting. Standard BNC accessories and banana cords can always be connected using the safety adapters
provided. An interchangeable plastic ring is used to match the colour of the accessory to the colour of its channel. The power
supply, like the calibration of the sensors, is directly via the oscilloscope.
