Keysight PS0006A Optically Isolated Differential Probe, 700 MHz, 2-meter
The main body of the isolated probe consists of a probe pod and sensor head. The pod contains the AutoProbe 1 interface that connects to the oscilloscope input. A probe tip is required to connect the sensor head to the DUT for measurements. Tips are sold separately and vary in voltage performance and connector type.
Key Features and Functions
- 700 MHz bandwidth
- 2 m cable
- AutoProbe 1 interface
- UL-certified
- Differential measurements up to ±2,500 V
- Probe tip required, sold separately
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.
