The 50X probe is compatible with the THS series, but the vertical system does not allow con
fi
guration for 50X readouts.

The P5122 may have a warning label stating it can only be used with the TPS2000. There is an exception to this statement: the P5122 can also be used with
the THS3000 Series instruments.
