Basic Accessory Connections
Probe Tips
Probe tips fit into the receptacles in the probe and are held in place with probe tip caps.
If necessary, you can solder the probe tips into a circuit or wires can be soldered to the
tips. If you solder to the probe tips, be careful not to melt the plastic probe tip caps.
Note Because of the close tolerances between the probe tip caps and probe tips, it will be
difficult to separate the probe tips and caps once the probe tips have been soldered.
Ground Leads
The circular end of the ground lead fits over the screw on the top side of the probe.
Extension Leads
The extension leads provide a flexible connection between circuitry and the probe.
To provide a male connection to other circuitry, connect the extension lead over the
probe tips.
To provide a female connection, remove the probe tip caps and probe tips and connect
the extension leads to the probe.
