„ With the probe closed and not surrounding any conductor, and the switch set to INST, use the
thumbwheel to adjust the zero of the probe.
In the RMS setting, the output signal is always positive and its variations are rather slow, making it
difficult to adjust the zero. It is therefore preferable to adjust the zero in the INST position.
„ Select the measurement sensitivity of the oscilloscope, bearing in mind that the probe delivers a
signal of 100mV/A.
„ Press the trigger to open the probe and place the conductor carrying the current to be measured in
the jaws of the probe.
Note the direction of the current thanks to the arrows on the top and bottom of the housing.
Keep the conductor centred in the probe and the probe perfectly perpendicular to the conductor.
„ Release the trigger. Check that nothing interferes with the closing of the probe and that the jaws are
well closed.
The probe measures the current and the oscilloscope displays the signal.
