3 Viewing and Measuring Digital Signals

To connect the digital probes to the circuit under test

The digital channels are enabled on MSO6000 models and

DSO6000 models which have the MSO upgrade license installed.

1If you feel it’s necessary, turn off the power supply to the circuit under test.

Turning off power to the circuit under test would only prevent damage that might occur if you accidentally short two lines together while connecting probes. You can leave the oscilloscope powered on because no voltage appears at the probes.
