Figure 3: Twisting the input leads
Extension Leads
The extension leads allow you to reach widely spaced connection
points. Connect the extension leads to the input leads using the adapters
provided. Be sure to use both extension leads so that the input leads
are the same length.
The extension leads, however, do affect the high-frequency performance
of the probe. With longer lead length, differential noise induced into
the input leads is greater. Also, because of the added inductance of
the leads, voltage measurements at frequencies above approximately
10 MHz may not be as precise. The following figure shows the effect
on HF transient response with (left waveform) and without (right
waveform). (See Figure 4 on page 13.)
The extension leads do not affect the performance of the probe when
bandwidth is set to 5 MHz.
