  • Page 6: Introduction

    Overview Introduction The DP0030A/31A/32A/33A probes are high-voltage differential active probes. While you can use these probes with a Keysight oscilloscope having 1M Ω input impedance, the DP0030A model is compatible with other (non-Keysight) oscilloscopes with 1M Ω input impedance. The DP0031A/32A/33A probes come with the Keysight Autoprobe 1 interface (via I2C) to connect to a Keysight oscilloscope.
