Highlights
The PS0015A Isolated Probe Deskew and Performance Verification Kit is designed for use with the associated MMCX connector-style tips (PS0017/8/9A). The PS0015A PV fixture is meant only for deskew and performance verification of the probe. It is not designed for any other testing purpose. This fixture is safely rated to the maximum of 30 Vrms / 42 Vpk / 60 VDC. Please do not use it with voltages higher than this rating. The PV fixture kit includes one of each of the following:
- Deskew fixture with MMCX connector
- SMA (male) to SMA (male) adapter
- SMA (male) to BNC (female) adapter
- BNC (male) to SMA (male) adapter
- 50 Ω SMA terminator
Compatible probes:
- PS0004A Optically Isolated Differential Probe, 350 MHz, 2 m
- PS0006A Optically Isolated Differential Probe, 700 MHz, 2 m
- PS0008A Optically Isolated Differential Probe, 1 GHz, 2 m

Galvanically isolated voltage probes separate the device under test (DUT) from the oscilloscope and earth ground, enabling safer and more accurate measurements. This isolation effectively rejects common-mode signals, minimizes noise interference, and eliminates ground loops in high-voltage environments. A high common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) is essential for capturing small signals accurately, even in the presence of large common-mode voltages at floating nodes. The CMRR of an isolated probe can be over 100 million times greater than that of a standard differential voltage probe referenced to earth ground.
Beyond high CMRR and enhanced safety, isolated probes offer additional advantages over standard differential probes. Their isolation makes them less susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), reducing signal distortion. Additionally, Keysight’s isolated probes support higher offset voltages and wider differential voltage ranges at higher bandwidths, ensuring precise measurements of fast-switching signals and transients in noisy, high-common-mode environments.
