These probes have a pin on their connector that connects to the ring around the oscilloscope's BNC connector. Therefore, the oscilloscope will automatically set the attenuation factor for recognized Agilent passive probes. Passive probes that do not have a pin that connects to the ring around the BNC connector will not be recognized by the oscilloscope, and you must set the probe attenuation factor manually.

If the setup does not produce a stable trigger, the I2S signal may be slow enough that the N O T E oscilloscope is AutoTriggering. Press the [Mode/Coupling] key, then press the Mode softkey to set the trigger mode from Auto to Normal. Agilent InfiniiVision 3000 X-Series Oscilloscopes User's Guide...
