About this manual

The selection guide explains how to pick the proper probe for a given measurement, covering important parameters such as attenuation ratio, bandwidth, input resistance, input capacitance and maximum input voltage. It also describes the different probe families – passive, active, differential and current probes – and their typical applications.

A large table lists specific Agilent probe models, their physical dimensions, attenuation, bandwidth, input impedance and voltage ratings, as well as the oscilloscope series they are compatible with. The guide finishes with a catalog of additional accessories like logic probes, wedge adapters, InfiniiMax probe heads and rack‑mount kits.
