Caution:
The default attenuation coefficient of the probe on the instrument is preset to
10X.
Make sure that the set value of the attenuation switch in the probe is the
same as the menu selection of the probe attenuation coefficient in the
oscilloscope.
The set values of the probe switch are 1X and 10X (see Figure 3-8).
Caution:
When the attenuation switch is set to 1X, the probe will limit the bandwidth
of the oscilloscope in 5MHz. To use the full bandwidth of the oscilloscope,
the switch must be set to 10X.
How to Use the Probe Safely
The safety guard ring around the probe body protects your finger against any electric
shock, shown as Figure 3-9.
Warning:
To avoid electric shock, always keep your finger behind the safety guard
ring of the probe during the operation.
To protect you from suffering from the electric shock, do not touch any
metal part of the probe tip when it is connected to the power supply.
Before making any measurements, always connect the probe to the
instrument and connect the ground terminal to the earth.
