The little yellow plastic tings that come on the end of the probes, what purpose do they serve?Also are they supposed to stay on the end of the probe?Mine keep falling off (1st scope, so this is all a bit new, apologies if it's a silly question)

Read through it and watched the video too, all good stuff.There was a suggestion that the yellow part was to help with the measuring of pins on IC's.But i never found an answer as to why it won't stay attached.The hooks attach nicely, no problem there, but the yellow pieces will not stay on regardless of how hard i push them on.Still looking for an answer.If i missed it would you point me directly to what i'm looking for?
The ... yellow pieces will not stay on regardless of how hard i push them on.

You would be real happy if they fell off when probing a densly populated high powered circuit and allowed the GND ring to contact a component lead. BANG shit pants, DUT, scope and probe.
Do not use DSFR or DSBA - 500uV Vertical as this does not work and causes problems with the scope.
That's great plazma!!! Mines suppose to ship tomorrow from Tequipment, crossing my fingers Thanks for sharing the results on the unlock, looking foreword to doing the same!!

The probes are quite low quality. None of them kept the yellow cap in place. The 1x position is loose and sometimes causes noise.Luckily I have Agilent 500MHz probes coming.

And 500MHz Agilent probes are close to $100ea used on ebay anyway.Dave did a video on the RP2200 probes and found them adequateIf you remember please do a comparison between the RP2200 and the Agilent probes.I am curious as to how much noise is normal. There is a thread here that looks into this issue.
Is there a simple way to disable already enabled 500uV mode? Or the only way is to uninstall all and then put new code again?
