PROBES AND
PROBE ACCESSORIES
A VARIETY OF PROBE TIPS FOR VARIED TASKS
Engineers often need to probe a variety of different test points in confined spaces.
The extensive range of standard and optional tip accessories for the ZS Series of
probes ensures that this probe can meet any difficult probing challenge. Various
flexible leads and clips, such as right-angle leads, Y-adapters, and pico hooks, are
also available for probing test points that are spaced farther apart.
INNOVATIVE GROUNDING SOLUTIONS PROVIDE THE
HIGHEST SIGNAL FIDELITY AND EASIEST CONNECTIONS
Making a good ground connection is just as Keeping the ground loop short is critical to
eliminating the effect of high inductance on the signal. The ZS Series of probes provides
several grounding capabilities to offer the highest signal fidelity by shortening the ground
loop and eliminating the effect of that loop on the signal. The standard Offset ground lead
is a “twisted-Z” shape for probing signal and ground points that are extremely close
together. The standard ground blade and copper pad provide the shortest ground loop
possible, and provide a pulse response that cannot be achieved with traditional long
ground leads. A variety of other ground connections are available for nearly any type of
probing requirement.
