Probing Principles

Read the helpful hints on the following pages to make probing easier and noise free.

Probe Grounding

In addition to the (+) and (-) inputs on the probe

head, there is also a ground (common) input .

You can use the probe to take a differential

measurement regardless of whether the ground

is conn ected.

CAUTION. To avoid damaging the circuitry

under test, connect the probe ground (common)

to a ground-reference point only.

See the technical reference manual on the CD

for more information.
