Using the Probe
Making Measurements
1 Power on the oscilloscope.
2 Connect the probe terminator to one of the scope channels.

Ensure all safety warnings and precautions are followed. Before
using the probe, study the warning and precautions in
“Safety" on page 6.
This probe is NOT compatible with 50Ω only Infiniium oscilloscopes (for
example, the DSO80000 or 90000 series oscilloscopes). The input coupling
is automatically selected to DC, as the Terminator is plugged into the
AutoProbe interface.
Immediately after powering on, this probe may be subject to an appreciable
offset drift due to the effect of self-heating. To counteract this, allow the
probe to warm up for about 30 minutes before carrying out measurement.
When the probe is connected to a scope channel, the AutoProbe interface
recognizes the probe as an 1147B and automatically sets the channel to
1M
Ω input resistance with DC input coupling.
