*² WARNING: For safe operation, do not use the P5200 High Voltage Differential Probe with oscilloscopes that have floating inputs (isolated inputs), such as the Tektronix TPS2000 series oscilloscopes and THS700 series oscilloscopes. The P5200 High Voltage Differential Probe requires an oscilloscope or other measurement instrument with grounded inputs.
