Probe Safety
Check and observe probe ratings before using probes.
A guard around the TPP0101/TPP0201 probe body provides a finger barrier for
protection from electric shock.
Finger guard
WARNING. To avoid electric shock when using the probe, keep fingers b ehind
the guard on the probe body.
To avoid electric shock while using the probe, do not touch metallic portions of
the p robe head while it is connected to a voltage source.
Connect the probe to the oscilloscope, and connect the ground terminal to ground
before you take any measurements.

ge Probe Check Wizard
You can use the Probe Check Wizard to verify that a voltage probe is operating
properly. The wizard does not s upport current probes.
The wizard helps you adjust the compensation for voltage probes (usually with a
screw on the probe body or probe connector) and set the factor for the Attenuation
opt
ion for each channel, such as in the 1 ► Probe ► Voltage ► Attenuation
option.
