P6246 & P6247 Instructions
Description
Short ground contact. Use the short ground lead for probing
small geometry components that have a nearby ground point. The
ground easily connects to adjacent square pins when the probe is
plugged directly onto 0.025-inch square pins (0.100-inch
spacing). See Figure 2 on page 17.
Ground lead. Use the six-inch ground lead for connecting the
probe ground to the circuit. The socketed end of the lead may be
connected to the probe tips and accessories, or fitted onto
0.025-inch pins.
TwinTip adapter. This accessory provides two adjustable tips for
probing connections that are close to each other.
Spring-loaded ground pin. Use the spring-loaded ground when
probing components that have a nearby ground point.
TwinFoot adapters. Use the TwinFoot adapter to probe two
adjacent leads on a surface-mount integrated circuit. Flexible
fingers adapt to a range of lead spacings. See Figure 5 on
page 19.
Probe-tip-to-BNC adapter. This accessory adapts the probe to a
BNC connector.
Color marker bands. Attach matching pairs of the color marker
bands onto the cable at the head and compensation box of each
probe. The marker bands enable quick verification of which probe
is connected to which instrument channel.
