Connect ZIF probe head to ZIF tip desired for measurement. When you need to
make a measurement at a point where you’ve previously installed a ZIF tip,
insure the latch on the ZIF tip is open, insert the contacts on the probe head
into the ZIF socket, and then close the ZIF latch with a non- conductive tool.
Depending on the positioning of the ZIF tip, you may need to support the body
of the ZIF tip while closing the latch. This can be done by tweezers or other
suitable tool by grabbing the PC board at the tip while the latch is being
closed. If the circuit is live and there is concern about shorting anything out,
use plastic or non-conductive tweezers. See
Figure 2-39
