• "Accessories Available" on page 322 AutoProbe Most Agilent single- ended active, differential, and current probes are Interface compatible with the AutoProbe interface. Active probes that do not have their own external power supply require substantial power from the AutoProbe interface.
Page 319: Passive Probes
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.
