Your P6021 may be used with the following optional accessory:
H CT-4 Current Probe — The CT-4 is a robust clip-on transformer that

around the probe transformer at the probe end of the cable. This allows you
to move the ground connection closer to the circuit that you are measuring,
thereby improving high frequency response. The ground lead clips onto the
ground connector on the bottom of the probe as shown.
extends the current range of the P6021 up to 1000 amps (provided the
amp-second rating is not exceeded). The CT-4 has receptacles for current
probes in either 20:1 or 1000:1 step-down ratios.
to select probe sensitivity. The switch has two positions: 2 mA/mV and
10 mA/mV. When the control is in the 2 mA/mV position, the oscilloscope
displays 1 mV for every 2 mA of current in the circuit under test. When the
control is in the 10 mA/mV position, the oscilloscope displays 1 mV for
every 10 mA of current in the circuit under test.
You can set vertical scale on the oscilloscope to any scale factor, as
determined by the signal amplitude. To calculate the overall vertical scale
factor for the oscilloscope, probe, and termination, multiply the termination
sensitivity control setting by the vertical scale factor of the oscilloscope. For
example, if the termination control is set to the 10 mA/mV position and the
oscilloscope to a vertical scale of 20 mV/division, the overall scale factor is
10 X 20, or 200 mA/division.
