Using the Probes
The TDS 340A, TDS 360, and TDS 380 come with two standard-accessory
probes. Use these probes to conduct signals to the oscilloscope. For detailed
probe specifications and instructions, see the instruction manual packaged with
the probe.
To connect a probe to the oscilloscope, attach the BNC end of the probe to either
the CH 1 or CH 2 input. Be sure to twist the probe end clockwise until the BNC
is fully locked. See Figure 2–3.
