Installation
Before you connect the probe to your instrument, read the following Operating considerations and Overview sections to
understand the operating characteristics and sequence of events necessary to properly install the probe and adapters.
CAUTION: To avoid ESD damage to the probe, always use an antistatic wrist strap (provided with your probe), and
work at a static-approved workstation when you handle the probe.
