Using the Probes
The TDS 310, TDS 320, and TDS 350 come with two standard accessory
probes. Use these probes to conduct test signals to the oscilloscope. For
detailed probe specifications and instructions, see the instruction manual
packaged with the probe.
To connect a probe to the oscilloscope, attach the BNC end of the probe to
either the CH 1 or CH 2 input. Be sure to twist the probe end clockwise until
the BNC is fully locked. See Figure 25.
