Handling the Probe
The WaveLink series probe is a precision test instrument. Exercise care when handling and storing
the probe. Always handle the probe by the platform/cable assembly. Avoid putting excessive strain
on any cable or interconnect lead or exposing the probe cables to sharp bends.
ESD Sensitive: The tips of the probe are sensitive to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Avoid
causing damage to the probe by always following anti-static procedures (wear wrist strap,
etc.) when using or handling the probe.
Solder-in Tips: Prevent damage to the solder-in tips by carefully storing them in the
plastic protective storage case when not in use.
Positioner Tip: The PT tips are very small and are fragile. When not in use, store in the
provided case.
