Basic operation
Using the tripod
The tripod probe support adds stability to square-pin mounted test points. For more stability, use glue to attach the tripod legs
to the DUT circuit board.
Using the optional browser
The optional browser kit contains the following parts: up to 1 GHz browser probe, square pin Y-lead adapter, micro-SMD clip,
three ground leads (alligator, blade, spring), and four replacement probe-tip pins (two rigid, two spring loaded).
WARNING. To prevent injury to the operator or damage to the probe, oscilloscope and device under test, do not touch the
probe ground to any point that is not at the same potential as the chassis ground of the oscilloscope. The probe ground must
be connected to the same potential as the chassis ground of the oscilloscope.
Installing ground leads.
To obtain accurate measurements, always attach a ground lead to the probe tip before making
measurements. It is recommended that you use the shortest ground lead that will function in your electrical application. The
following illustration shows the browser probe tip, the tip cover and the three types of grounds leads supplied with the browser.
To install the ground leads:
Spring: Slide the ground lead over the probe tip until it seats around the metal part of the probe-tip housing.
Alligator: Slide the ground lead prongs over the exposed metal between the plastic probe-tip sections.
Blade: Locate the slot in the probe-tip housing as shown below. Slide the ground lead over the probe tip until the
blade slides into the slot.
