Probing a DUT
N7000/1/2/3A InfiniiMax III+ Handling Guide 9
Probing a DUT
The probe has been designed to withstand a moderate amount of physical and
electrical stress. However, with an active probe, the technologies necessary to
achieve high performance do not allow the probe to be unbreakable. Treat the
probe with care. It can be damaged if excessive force is applied to the probe tip.
This damage is considered to be abuse and will void the warranty when verified by
Keysight Technologies service professionals.
When the probe amplifier is not in use, store it in the probe case. Coil the probe
cable with these tips in mind:
• Keep the coil’s radius fairly large so as not to induce kinking or bending. Use a
similar technique as when coiling an extension cord.
• Avoid twisting the cable when coiling by introducing a very slight twist with
each coil. This allows the cable rotations to lie flat against each other and will
eliminate the net twisting of the cable in the end.
CAUTION
Probes are sensitive devices and should be treated with care. Do not bend or kink the
probe amplifier cable. Do not drop heavy objects on the probe, drop the probe from large
heights, spill liquids on the probe, etc. Any of these examples can significantly degrade
the performance of the probe.
CAUTION
Do not replace or repair the N2849A QuickTip’s resistor or ground leads. Attempting to do
so will damage the ability of the tip to mate with the N2848A probe head.
CAUTION
Always mechanically strain-relieve the N2848A QuickTip head and N5439A ZIF head
before using to protect both your probe accessories and DUT from damage.
CAUTION
Using the N2787A 3D probe positioner with the N5445A browser probe head reduces the
chance of breaking the browser tips and ensures that the tips maintain solid contact.
