2.1 Connecting Probes

Shock hazard caused by high voltages

Make sure to set the attenuation factor on the instrument according to the probe being

used. Otherwise, the measurement results do not reflect the actual voltage level, and

you might misjudge the actual risk.

1. Connect the probe(s) first to the channel input(s) at the top of the instrument, and

then to the DUT.

2. Press and hold the CH key of the used input.

3. Select "Probe Setting".

4. Select the attenuation factor of the probe.

The probe's attenuation factor is indicated on the probe.

Note: If you perform current measurements using a shunt resistor as a current sen-

sor, you have to multiply the V/A-value of the resistor by the attenuation of the

probe. For example, if a 1 Ω resistor and a 10:1 probe is used, the V/A-value of the

resistor is 1 V/A, the attenuation factor of the probe is 0.1, and the resulting current

probe attenuation is 100 mV/A.
