Passive Probes
All 6000 Series oscilloscopes including the 100 MHz models
recognize passive probes such as the 10073C and 10074C. 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.
