Choose Setup > Probe Configuration... to open the Probe Configuration dialog box. The
N7040A/41A/42A probe is not automatically identified by the oscilloscope and therefore not
displayed as connected to the scope's channel.
To manually identify the type of probe and configure its settings, click Options... displayed in the
Probe System section of the scope channel to which the current probe is connected. In the above
screen, the settings for the N7042A probe connected to Channel 1 are being configured.
The Probe dialog box is displayed. Select the Current Probe attached option from the Probe Type
drop-down listbox.
From the Current Probe drop-down listbox, select the attenuation ratio for your current probe to
match the Output/Input ratio (in V/A) (printed on the label on the front side of the probe).
