Bandwidth limit button and indicators
Press the BANDWIDTH LIMIT button to limit the probe bandwidth to 5 MHz. 5 MHz is close to the switching frequency of most switching
transistors (FET
s) in switch mode power supplies (SMPS).
The 5 MHz filter assists in the characterization and testing of power supplies in switch mode by removing all high frequency content, noise
and harmonics from the measurement.
Press the button again to return to the FULL position, which selects the full specified bandwidth of the probe.
Audible overrange on/off button and indicators
The audible overrange is an audible alarm that indicates when the measured signal exceeds the selected range. The alarm is enabled
when the probe is first powered on.
