. Use the retractable KlipChip if you need
hands-free attachment to a physically small signal or ground
source. The low profile of the KlipChip allows you to grasp
devices that the Retractable Hook Tip cannot.
To use the KlipChip as a ground connector, attach the long
ground lead with square-pin termination to the probe collar.
Connect the ground lead termination to one of the KlipChip
shoulder pins.
To use the KlipChip as a signal connector, slide the optional
single-lead probe tip adapter (see Replaceable Parts list) onto the
probe tip. Connect the single-lead termination to one of the
KlipChip shoulder pins.
To use the KlipChip as both ground and signal connector, slide
the optional dual-lead probe tip adapter (See Replaceable Parts)
onto the probe tip. Connect both single-lead terminations to the
shoulder of a separate KlipChip pin. You can also combine the
single-lead adapter with a long ground lead to configure dual
KlipChip connections.

For maximum flexibility, use one of the six-inch ground leads. For precise
measurements at high frequency, the inductance associated with long ground
leads may distort the high-frequency component of your signal. Consider
whether you can use one of the low-inductance probe tip configurations
instead. For tips on minimizing ground lead inductance, refer to the Operating
Basics section beginning on page 2–1.

Use a ground lead with this accessory. Be sure to take into account ground
lead inductance effects on measurements at frequencies approaching 30 MHz.
For tips on minimizing ground lead inductance, refer to the Operating Basics
section beginning on page 2–1.
