2Warning: The P6243 and P6245 probes that may be used with this oscilloscope provide an extremely low loading
capacitance (<1 pF) to ensure the best possible signal reproduction. These probes should not be used to measure
signals exceeding ±8 V, or errors in signal measurement will be observed. Above 40 V, damage to the probe may result.
To make measurements beyond ±8 V, use either the P6139A probe (good to 500 V), or refer to the catalog for a recom-
mended probe.
3You can replace items 19, 20, or 21 with a Tegam/T ektronix SG503 (item 25) or SG504 (item 26) – if available.
