Wide Input Range
It also has a wide input range, up to 30 Arms or 40 A peak. To achieve the most comprehensive input range, you must use the external AC power adapter that comes with the probe. Without the external power adapter, you can achieve up to a 5 Arms or 5 A peak input range. The oscilloscope automatically synchronizes with the corresponding power source when inserting or removing the AC adapter. In either case, a degauss operation will occur.
Degaussing Made Easy
Degaussing and eliminating the offset error is critical for accurate measurement with a clamp-on current probe. A degauss button is included in the design of this probe. One push of the button will perform a degauss operation. Pushing and holding the button for > 2 sec will perform a degauss and autozero the DC offset. When using the degauss button, the current sensor should be locked with no current flowing. Alternatively, the same operation can be performed from the oscilloscope GUI.
