As the speeds in your design increase, you
may notice more overshoot, ringing, and
other perturbations when connecting an
oscilloscope probe. Probes form a resonant
circuit where they connect to the device. If
this resonance is within the bandwidth of
the oscilloscope probe you are using, it will
be difficult to determine if the measured
perturbations are due to your circuit or the
probe.
These probes are compatible with the
AutoProbe interface, which completely con-
figures the oscilloscope for use with the
probe. Power for the active probe is sup-
plied by the oscilloscope.
Faithful reproduction of your signal
Now you can accurately measure your hi-
speed signals without introducing errors
from a probe that has a resonant input
impedance or non-flat frequency response.
With the 1156A/57A/58A probes, a damp-
ing resistor is placed as close as possible to
the point being probed, which keeps the
input impedance from resonating low, and it
also allows a flat frequency response across
the entire bandwidth of the probe. Finally,
there is a high-bandwidth active probe
where the waveform onscreen matches the
waveform at the probe tip. The 1158A
offers a flat response for the entire band-
width of a 4GHz probe!
Small size
Have you experienced problems with large,
clunky probes? If so, you probably found
your probe awkward to hold and had diffi-
culty connecting to your signals. With the
small size of the 1156A/57A/58A, you can
handle the probe expertly and gain access
to tight spaces. Plus, the low mass makes
the probe more durable. Agilent makes your
job easier–giving you performance that is
easy to use.
Superior accessories
Your device under test (DUT) determines
the type of probing accessories you need.
Of course, there are electrical trade-offs
depending on the type of connection you
use. Longer connections from your DUT
produce lower performance probing sys-
tems.
Agilent offers a variety of accessories opti-
mized to give you the most accurate repro-
duction of your signal. In addition, the per-
formance of each accessory is characterized
to fit your needs. Now you can make
informed decisions and get the best mea-
surement for your environment. Superior
performance combined with the knowledge
to use it–that’s how Agilent helps you do
your job better.
