General Information

To use the probe

To use the probe
The Infiniium family of oscilloscopes provides both power and offset
control to the 1156A active probe through the front panel connector.
Probe offset is changed by adjusting the vertical offset control on the
Infiniium oscilloscope. The control should be adjusted to center your
waveform within the 5 volt peak-to-peak (12 volts peak-to-peak for slow
waveforms) dynamic range of the probe.

Probe handling considerations

This 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. You should
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 Agilent Technologies service professionals.
• Exercise care to prevent the probe end from receiving mechanical shock.
• Store the probe in a shock-resistant case such as the foam-lined shipping case
which came with the probe.

Cleaning the probe

If the probe requires cleaning, disconnect it from the oscilloscope and clean it
with a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Make sure the
probe is completely dry before reconnecting it to the oscilloscope.
