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.
10073 Passive probe
The 10073C is a 10:1 500MHz Passive Probe which is an ideal general purpose probe for the 300MHz to 1 GHz 6000 and 8000 series oscilloscopes. This probe identification feature automatically configures the oscilloscope for the probe attenuation.
10073C Passive probe includes:
- one retractable hook tip
- orange, white, blue and green identification tags
- one ground bayonet
- one IC probing tip
- one adjustment tool
- one alligator clip ground lead
