Maintenance
The P6434 probe does not require scheduled or periodic maintenance. To
maintain good electrical contact, keep the probe free of dirt, dust, and
contaminants. Also, ensure that any electrically conductive contaminants are
removed.
Dirt and dust can usually be removed with a soft brush. For more extensive
cleaning, use only a damp cloth. Abrasive cleaners and organic solvents should
never be used.
CAUTION.
To prevent damage, service the probe only in a static-free environment.
The component devices contained on the P6434 probe are susceptible to
static-discharge damage.
If the probe is connected to the target system, grasp the ground connector on the
back of the logic analyzer to discharge your stored static electricity. If the probe
is not connected, touch the antistatic bag to discharge stored static electricity
from the probe.
Always wear a grounding wrist strap, or similar device, while servicing the
probe.
If you connect and disconnect the P6434 probe frequently, occasionally use a
magnifying glass to examine the contact points on both the probe tip and on the
mating connector. If contacts have been dislocated from their proper position,
