Using the Probe
N2840/1/2/3A and N2853A User’s Guide 9
Retractable Hook
Use the retractable hook tip to make quick connections for hands-free probing. To
attach the retractable hook tip to the probe, gently slip the tip onto the end of the
probe barrel. Once the tip is attached to the probe, push the tip’s collar towards
the probe body to expose the hook.

Ground Spring
The ground spring improves measurement performance by providing a short
ground connection. The shorter lead reduces the inductance in the ground return
path which corresponds to higher performance than using the alligator ground
lead. To attach the ground spring, insert it over the end of the probe barrel as
shown in Figure 4 . The spring must make contact with the metallic band on the
probe’s barrel.

CAUTION
Avoid damaging the probe tip. Always align the axis of the retractable
hook tip with the probe tip when inserting the tip.
