Using the N2791A High-Voltage Differential Probe
Use Proper Power Source
To ensure this probe functions well, use four AA batteries or the supplied USB
power cord.
For Indoor Use Only
Only use this probe indoors.
Do Not Operate With Suspected Failures
If you suspect there is damage to this probe, have it inspected by a qualified
service personnel.
Using the N2791A High-Voltage Differential Probe
• To use this probe, first insert the four AA batteries into the probe or connect
the USB power cord to the probe and a USB port (see page 4 to see where
the USB power cord input is located on the probe).
To replace batteries, first slip off
the cover
• Then connect the BNC output connector to the channel input of the
oscilloscope. The oscilloscope must have a ground referenced.
• Select the proper attenuation ratio (10:1 or 100:1) on the probe via the
attenuation switch and specify the attenuation and probe configuration on
your oscilloscope.
TIP: When measuring signals below 70 V, switch the attenuation ratio to 10:1
in order to obtain a higher resolution signal with less noise. Otherwise set the
attenuation ratio to 100:1.
