Page 14: Handling The Probe
Getting Started Handling the Probe This probe is a precision high-frequency device; exercise care when you use and store the probe. The probe and cable are susceptible to damage caused by careless use. Always handle the probe at the compensation box and probe head, to avoid undue physical strain to the probe cable, such as kinking, excessive bending, or pulling. -
Page 15: Operation Basics
Operation Basics Connecting to the Host Instrument CAUTION. To avoid ESD damage to the probe, always use an antistatic wrist strap (provided with your probe), and work at a static-approved workstation when you handle the probe. The TekConnect interface features a spring-loaded latch that provides audible and tactile confirmation that a reliable connection has been made to the host instrument. -
