P6330 3.5 GHz Differential Probe Instructi on Manual

Operating Basics
This section discusses operating considerations and probing
techniques. For more detai led information about differential
measurements and common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR), see the
Reference sectiononpage19.
The P6330 probe design is optimized for high bandwidth, low
capacitance applica tions; it is not a general purpose probe. The probe
head and tips are miniaturized for electrical characteristics and
access to dense circuitry, and must be handled carefully. Rough or
careless use will likely damage the probe.
To avoid damaging the probe tips, minimize your lateral pressure on
the tips. Always probe as directly straight onto the circuit (perpendic-
ular) as possible. The probe tips are extremely sharp to ensure good
contact and measurement integrity.
WARNING. Skin penetration hazard. Use care when handling the
probe. To prevent injury and/or probe damage, install the protective
cover over the probe tips when the probe is not i n use.
Installation
Before you connect the output of the P6330 differential probe,
determine whether or not your oscilloscope has a TEKPROBE
interface. See Figure 2 on page 10.
