CAUTION. To avoid a measurement error, do not connect active probes with a
combined load factor that is greater than 10. The signal distortion caused by such
an overload can be subtle (reduced gain, d ynamic range, or slew rate).
Unsupported Probes
The TDS3000C oscilloscopes only support the probes listed in t his chapter of
the manual. The oscilloscope may not display a message when you connect an
unsupported probe, so make sure that any probe you connect to the TDS3000C
is supported.
