bottom of the loop to prevent cable wear
CAUTION!
If your device has a chuck, you must make the device recalculate the probe length. For the
procedure, refer to How to decrease the length of probes on page 98
. If the device does not
recalculate the probe length, it is possible that the device will not measure correctly.
