2. Configuration and Functions
Functions of Components
Probe head
Various accessories are connected to the signal input terminals, and
the probe head is connected to the device under measurement.
Ground extension lead
The ground lead is usually not used when measuring differential
signals.
Probe cable
The probe cable connects the probe head and the probe interface unit.
Marker tips
All the 8-color tips are attached to the probe cable. The marker tips can
be identified according to the channel display color of the connected
oscilloscope. Cut and remove unnecessary color tips before use.
Probe interface
The probe interface unit is connected to an oscilloscope with probe
interface.
Output terminal
The output terminal is a BNC connector. It is connected to an input
terminal of the oscilloscope.
Interface spring pins
When the output terminal is connected, interface spring pins touch the
pad on the oscilloscope interface board and the probe is automatically
detected. The interface pins are also used to supply the probe's power
and a offset voltage.
Latch release lever
When disconnecting the probe from the oscilloscope, use the latch
release lever to unlock the probe output terminal connected to the
oscilloscope input terminal. The lock can be released while pushing the
lever to the UNLOCK side.
Offset voltage adjustment screw
This screw adjusts the internal variable resistor. The residual offset
voltage can be adjusted using a screwdriver described below.
Adjustment screwdriver
Use an appropriate screwdriver that fits the adjustment screw. Using a
screwdriver with a large grip or an extremely small tip may damage the
probe.
Recommended screwdriver bit dimensions are:
Head thickness (W): 0.2 to 0.35 mm, head width (L): 1.3 to 1.5 mm,
head shape: flat or Phillips.
