How to Connect to Oscilloscopes
WARNING
• Use this probe only with YOKOGAWA’s oscilloscopes. Even
with YOKOGAWA’s oscilloscopes, this probe can be used only
when specified as an accessory. Do not use accessories other
than the standard accessories of this probe.
• Do not apply a voltage exceeding the maximum input voltage
to the probe. EN61010-031 is a compliant safety standard that
is applied to the probe alone. For the actual safety standards
and operating conditions, comply with the conditions of the
oscilloscope. Failure to follow this precaution may cause
accidents, such as electric shock or damage to the instruments.
• When the oscilloscope’s input coupling is AC, a DC voltage is
applied to the oscilloscope’s input at the same electric potential
as the probe’s input. Make sure not to exceed the oscilloscope’s
maximum input voltage.
• This probe cannot be used to measure the voltage between
two points floating from the ground potential. Consider using a
differential probe.
• When disconnecting the probe, turn off the power to the device
under measurement, disconnect the probe from the device, and
then disconnect the probe from the oscilloscope.
CAUTION
• Since the contact tips are very thin and sharp, handle them with
care. Attach the protection cap when not in use.
• Avoid shock to the probe body. Do not bend or pull the cables
excessively. Doing so may damage or disconnect the probe.
