Functional Check and Basic Operation
Basic Operation
1. Check the oscilloscope display before
connecting the probe to a conductor.
If there is a DC offset, degauss the probe.
(See page 4,
Degaussing the Probe .)
2. For correct polarity reading, connect the
probe so that the positive-to-negative
current
fl ow is aligned with the arrow on
the probe jaw.
Close and lock the probe jaw over the
conductor.
3. Read the measurement on the oscilloscope
display.
CAUTION. To prevent risk of electric shock or
fi re, do not exceed the bare wire voltage rating
of the probe. (See page 43, Speci fi cations.)
