4.2 Accessories The standard accessories included with the active probe SAP5000D are as follows: Standard Accessories Part Number Quantity Unit Head DSI-50 1.99.20.00.023R 10cm Ground Wire 2.52.42.11.018 24.9Ω Lead Resistance 2.45.01.01.305 Silver Wire 2.52.42.11.037 Meter Colored Rings (4 colors) 2.75.23.10.005 Probe Accessories Illustration Silver Wire: Diameter 0.25mm, used to connect the DUT and the probe tip.
ESD protection procedures. 5.1 Connecting the Probe to an Oscilloscope The SAP5000D is compatible with oscilloscopes that support the SAPBus interface, such as the SDS5000X, SDS6000 Pro, and SDS7000A series oscilloscopes. When the probe is connected to the oscilloscope, the oscilloscope can automatically identify the probe model and adjust display scales and measurements accordingly.
5.3 Probe Head Selection Different probe heads are suitable for different usage scenarios, and users can choose as needed. Siglent will continue to introduce various types of probe heads. 5.3.1 DSI-50 Differential Input Soldering Type This probe head can measure both differential and single-ended signals, with characteristics of high bandwidth and low input capacitance.
Solder wire. Fine stainless steel tweezers. Flux. Caliper. Wire cutters. Soldering Steps Use a vise or fixture to secure the tip for soldering. If the fixture has sharp edges, wrap it with tape to protect the head. SAP5000D Differential Probe...
