Operating Procedures
Preparation
1.
Have the probe and a digital oscilloscope with a probe interface ready.
2.
Insert the probe interface completely into the oscilloscope input, and
confirm that the BNC connector and interface pin are securely fastened.
You will hear the latch click when the connectors lock into place.
3.
Attach any of the provided attachments to the probe head signal input
terminals.
Attachment Handling
You can change the attachment according to the circuit under measurement.
As shown below, there are holes for connecting an attachment to the probe
head tip.
+ –
Positive
signal input terminal
(noninverted)
Negative
signal input terminal
(inverted)
There are straight and angled attachment pins. Select the attachment that is
appropriate for the circuit under test.
Because the probe input is high impedance, the inductance from the probe
head to the circuit under test has a large effect on the measured results of high
frequency signal components. When measuring signals that include frequency
components of 100 MHz or higher, we recommend that you use the shortest
attachments possible for both the positive and negative input terminals.
