6 Probe Operation
The SAP1000 probe is a precision test instrument. Exercise care when
handling and storing the probe. Always handle the probe by the probe body or
compensation box. Avoid putting excessive strain or exposing the probe cable
to sharp bends.
ESD Sensitive: The tips of the probes are sensitive to Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD). Avoid causing damage to the probe by always
following anti-static procedures when using or handling the probe.
6.1 Connecting the Probe to an Oscilloscope
The SAP1000 probe has been designed for being used with SIGLENT’s
SDS5000X oscilloscope equipped with the SAPBus interface. When you
attach the probe output connector to the oscilloscope’s input connector, the
oscilloscope detects the probe automatically.
When the SAP1000 probe is connected to any compatible SIGLENT
oscilloscope, the displayed scale factor and measurement values are
automatically adjusted. The probe can be controlled through the oscilloscope
graphical user interface. Turning the Volts/div knob controls the oscilloscope’s
scale factor to give full available dynamic range up to 2 V/div (16 V peak to
peak). Turning the channel offset knob controls the probe input offset circuit
over its range of ±12 V.
