Switch probe?

[D Skelton]

Hi guys, what is the SPL1000 switch probe for that is included with the Megger 1553? What does it do and how do you use it?

read the instructions that come with the instrument. they tell you what i'ts for and how to use it,

I don't have any. I just have a quick start guide and none of the cd's have any instructions
