Passive Probes
InfiniiVision 5000 Series oscilloscopes recognize passive probes
such as the N2863A, 10073C and 10074C. These probes have a
pin on their connector that connects to the ring around the
oscilloscope’s BNC connector. Therefore, the oscilloscope will
automatically set the attenuation factor for recognized Agilent
passive probes.
Passive probes that do not have a pin that connects to the ring
around the BNC connector will not be recognized by the
oscilloscope, and you must set the probe attenuation factor
manually.
