Using the Probe Adapter Using the Probe Adapter There are a few things to consider when connecting the N1022A Active Probe Adapter to an active probe and the Infiniium DCA. The dynamic range of the system will be 3.2 V (6.4 Vp-p), which with probe off- set, covers most digital technologies. The Infiniium DCA provides both power and offset control to the active probe adapter through the plug-in module front panel connector. Probe offset is changed by adjusting the vertical offset contro

Connecting the N1022A Technologies sales office. If the shipping container is damaged, or the cushioning materials show signs of stress, notify the carrier as well as your Agilent Technologies sales office. Keep the shipping materials for the carrier's inspection. The Agilent office will arrange for replacement of the N1022A at Agilent’s option without waiting for claim settlement. Connecting the N1022A CAUTION When using the N1022A, always work at a static-safe work station and wear a

Connecting the N1022A panel. Connecting to an Aux Power connector prevents the probe from being automatically calibrated. 3 Connect the probe output to the probe adapter input. The probe tip should not be connected to a device under test at this time. CAUTION The probe power cable connector automatically locks in the mating power connector. To separate the connection, you must pull on the knurled part of the cable connector housing. This releases the lock. If you pull directly on the power

Static-Safe Workstation Static-Safe Workstation Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components. All work on electronic assemblies should be performed at a static-safe work- station. The following figure shows an example of a static-safe work station using two types of ESD protection: Conductive table-mat and wrist-strap combination. Conductive floor-mat and heel-strap combination. Figure 2. Static Safe Workstation 8

Reducing ESD Damage Both types, when used together, provide a significant level of ESD protection. Of the two, only the table-mat and wrist-strap combination provides adequate ESD protection when used alone. To ensure user safety, the static-safe accessories must provide at least 1 MΩ of isolation from ground. Refer to Table 1 for information on ordering static-safe accessories. WARNING These techniques for a static-safe work station should not be used when working on circuitry with a vol
