Operating Characteristics and Probing Techniques
This section explains the operating characteristics of the High
Voltage Differentia l Probe along with te chniques you can use to
maximize the performance of the probe.
Operating Limits
The P5205 probe has two operating ranges that you select with the
ATTENUATION button on the front panel:
H Select the 50X range for inputs of 0 V to 130 V (DC + peak AC).
H Select the 500X range for inputs of 130 V t o 1300 V (DC +
peak AC).
