Infiniium Active Probing
Probing importance
If you are concerned about accurate reproduction of your signals as they
appear on your device under test, you need the best end-to-end measurement
system starting at the probe tip. To ensure that you achieve the full bandwidth
of your oscilloscope, you need to ensure you are using a probe that shows
you the details of the signal. For example, the 1 GHz models (DSO8104A and
MSO8104A) will need an active probe with the bandwidth of at least 1 GHz. The
1156A or the 1130A active probes are recommended to achieve the full system
bandwidth of your scope. In addition, a selection of probes that specifically
enhances or utilizes Infiniium 8000 Series are also listed.
For more complete information on Agilent probing solutions please see the
Oscilloscope Probes and Accessories Selection Guide (Agilent publication
number 5989-6162EN).
