Overview

Introduction

The DP0010A/11A/12A/13A probes are mid-voltage differential active probes that
you can use with a Keysight oscilloscope having 50 Ω input impedance. The probe
comes with the AutoProbe I interface to connect to the oscilloscope. This interface
provides the probe power, offset, and auto-configuration of probe type and
attenuation setting on connection.

(~17:1 and ~85:1). The probe's attenuation is automatically set to the value
necessary to make the dynamic range of the probe greater than or equal to the
level required to measure the input signal. The input range is automatically
configured depending on the vertical scale of the oscilloscope. For
volts/division setting <=2 V/div, the attenuation range of ~17:1 is applicable
and for volts/division setting >2 V/div, the attenuation range of ~85:1 is
applicable. Based on these ranges, the attenuation for the probe is set when
the probe is calibrated. You can view the attenuation setting for the probe in the
Infiniium/InfiniiVision software GUI.
