Connecting a probe
3.3 Connecting a probe
You can connect all probes recommended in chapter 2
of this manual. In addition to the probe, you need a suit-
able probe cable for the connection between the probe
and the instrument. The probe connectors are located
on the side of the instrument.
N o t e
Probes with zeroing before coupling should
not be coupled when the instrument is pow-
ered on. The DMS Go+ tries to detect a zero
point as long as the probe is coupled.
Dual-type connectors
Most probe cables have a dual-type connector for both
connection sockets on the instrument. To prevent a
wrong connection, these connectors and the connection
sockets on the probe and on the instrument are provid-
ed with lugs.
– Connect the probe cable with the probe.
– Connect the probe cable with the probe connections
on the side of the instrument.

A T T E N T I O N
If a probe is connected incorrectly, the con-
sequence would be a mismatching which
may lead to considerable power losses or
even to echo waveform distortions.
Both connector sockets are equally suitable (connected
in parallel) for connecting single-element probes so that
it does not matter which one of the two sockets is used.
When connecting a dual-element (TR) probe (having
one transmitter or pulser element and one receiver ele-
ment) or two probes (of which one is transmitting and
the other one receiving), attention should be paid to the
correct allocation of connecting cables (please see sym-
bols on the instrument):
