Agilent offers a variety of active and passive probes for its oscilloscopes family. Current probes are also available to generate a voltage output proportional to an input current in the user’s circuit.

The most widely used type of oscilloscope probe is the "passive probe". Passive probes are also the most rugged and economical of probes. There are no active components such as transistors or amplifiers in the probe and therefore passive probes do not need to be powered.
