knurled nut finger tight.
b. Insert the end of the probe cable labeled “Excitation” into the
connector and
rotate the connector and tighten the nut as described above.
3. Insert the probe into the probe alignment tool to perform alignment and calibration.
Rotate the probe into the tool so that the ball inside the tool slides into the indent on the
side of the probe.
