P6249 4 GHz 5X Active Probe Instruction Manual
Three-inch ground lead. Use the three-inch
ground lead for general probing. The socketed
end of the lead may be connected to any of the
probe tips and adapters or fitted onto 0.025 inch
pins.
To attach the ground lead, press and rotate the
lead pin connector into the ground socket on the
probe head. The lead may be removed by simply
pulling the pin out by hand.
When selecting the grounding connection,
maintain as short a ground path as possible.
Refer to page 20 for more information.
Pogo pin
Low-inductance ground pogo pin. Use the
low-inductance ground pogo pin to substantially
reduce ground lead inductance. Because the
pogo pin simply touches the ground reference,
you can easily move the probe to different points
on the circuit under test.
To attach, press the pogo pin into the probe head
ground socket.
When selecting the grounding connection,
maintain as short a ground path as possible.
Refer to page 20 for more information.
Signal ground
adapter
FlexLead
adapter
Signal-Ground Adapter. The signal-ground
adapter is ideal for use with signal/ground pairs
on 0.100 inch header pins (such as FlexLead
adapters).
Attach the signal-ground adapter by gently
pressing it into the ground socket on the probe
head.
Be sure to use the stabilization notch whenever
possible, to avoid slipping and damaging the
probe or circuitry under test.
