To connect oscilloscope probes
1 Attach the probe BNC connector to the desired oscilloscope channel or trigger input.
Push it straight on until it latches into place.
2 Connect the probe to the circuit of interest using grabbers or other probing aids.
3 To disconnect the probe, push the small latch on top of the probe connector to the left,
then pull the connector body away from the front panel of the oscilloscope without
twisting it.
CAUTION AVOID DAMAGE TO THE PROBE CONNECTOR!
Do not attempt to twist the snap-on probes on or off the oscilloscope’s BNC connector. Twisting
the probe connector body will damage it.
CAUTION DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM INPUT VOLTAGE!
Do not exceed the maximum input voltage rating of the oscilloscope inputs! The maximum input
voltage for 50-
Ω inputs is 5 V
rms
, CAT I. The maximum input voltage for 1 MΩ inputs is ±100V
(dc+ac) [ac < 10 kHz], CAT I. (Probes may have different ratings. See the probe documentation.)
