RIGOL Active Probe Amplifier The active probe amplifier (Figure 2), with more than 1.5GHz bandwidth, is a main component of the active probe. One end of the active probe amplifier can be connected to the DS6000 and DS4000 series oscilloscope and the other end can be connected to the desired probe head.
RIGOL Probe Head RP7000S supports hand-held single-ended probe head. Before using it, rotating the single-ended ground collar adjusts the spacing between the single-ended ground collar and probe tip, as shown in Figure 3. Figure 3 Hand-held Single-ended Probe Head Wherein, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5, probe tip and single-ended ground collar are standard accessories and are both replaceable.
During the use of RP7000S series single-ended active probe, correct operations can ensure the probe performance, prolong the service life of the probe and ensure the effectiveness of the signal measurement result. This chapter introduces in detail the using method of the RP7000S series single-ended active probe. Main Topics: To Connect to the Oscilloscope ...
RIGOL To Connect to the Oscilloscope After RP7000S is connected correctly to a RIGOL DS6000 or DS4000 series oscilloscope, the oscilloscope recognizes the probe automatically and provides both power and offset voltage to the probe. You can adjust the offset voltage (refer to To Adjust Offset Voltage) and calibrate the probe (refer to To Calibrate the Probe) by the front panel menu of the oscilloscope.

RIGOL Use any probe auxiliary device to connect the probe to the circuit to be tested. To disconnect the probe from the oscilloscope, press the button on the probe (as shown in the left figure below), pull the connector straight out of the oscilloscope (as shown in the right figure below) and then release the button.
RIGOL To Use Hand-held Single-ended Probe Head Known from Probe Head, RP7000S can easily change the probe head by using the method introduced in To Replace Probe Accessories. This chapter introduces how to use the probe heads respectively. The hand-held single-ended probe head provides an effective bandwidth of more than 1.5GHz.
RIGOL Hand-held single-ended probe head (RP7S-0205). ① 91Ω probe tip (RP7-0405). ② Straight acuminate ground collar: rotating the ground collar adjusts the ③ spacing (0mm to 5mm) between the ground collar and probe tip (RP7-0501). CAUTION Ground the ground collar when using the hand-held single-ended probe.
