OPERATION

To make a measurement, follow these steps and refer to the
illustration on the back. (Steps are identified in the illustration.)

Connect the i1000s Current Probe to the desired input

1

channel on the oscilloscope.

2

On the Current Probe, select the least sensitive range (1
mV/A).

3

On your oscilloscope, select an appropriate range.

Clamp the probe around the conductor to be measured,

4

and observe the current waveform on your oscilloscope
display. For standard oscilloscopes, use a 1:1 probe
setting. Not needed for Fluke ScopeMeter 123.

MEASUREMENT CONSIDERATIONS

Observe the following guidelines for positioning the Current
Probe jaws:

Carefully move the probe to center the conductor inside

•

the jaws.

Make sure the probe is perpendicular to the conductor.

•

If possible, avoid measurements close to other current­carrying conductors.

•

On the Current Probe, the 1 mV/A range offers the best
accuracy and least phase shift. When using the 1 mV/A probe
range, use the “volts per division” adjustment on your
oscilloscope for best display results.
