Appendix D: Probe Basics
Using Other Probes
Optional probes can add capabilities to your o scilloscope that are useful
in many applications. You can use the following passive probes without
any limitations.
Passive probe Recommended usage

Supported Active Probes and Adapters
The oscilloscope supplies power to active pro bes. You can use the
following active pro bes as long as the to tal power required by the probes
does not exceed the capacity of the oscilloscope. To determine the total
probe load, add the load factors f or all probes you w a nt to use. The
oscilloscope can supply power to this combinatio n if the sum of the load
factors equals 10 or less. All passive probes have a load factor of zero.
