Turn your V-Series into a Time-Domain
Transmission (TDT) instrument to quickly
characterize and compensate any probes, cables
or measurement setup.
PrecisionProbe technology turns your oscilloscope into the
ultimate characterization tool. It provides quick characterization
of your entire measurement setup (including probes, cables and
switches) without the need for extra equipment. PrecisionProbe
takes advantage of the Infiniium V-Series’ 12 ps edge to
characterize and compensate for loss on the measurement
system.
PrecisionProbe compensation technology:
–– Creates custom probe transfer function (Vout/Vin)
–– Characterizes probed system transfer function
(Vout/Vin = Vout/Vsrc)
–– Removes unwanted cable insertion loss (S21)
The magnitude and phase response of a cable corrected using
PrecisionProbe.
Now every probe and cable in the system can have the exact
same frequency response without measurement variation caused
by probe or cable difference. You can properly characterize
custom probes as well.
When you combine InfiniiMax III and III+ probes with switches
between the amplifier and the probe head, PrecisionProbe allows
full correction for each probe’s path. For increased accuracy,
PrecisionProbe Advanced with faster edge (6 ps) is available.
Keysight uses Indium Phosphide process to produce a 12 ps edge step
response, ideal for characterizing cable and probe frequency response.
