Yokogawa high speed oscilloscope differential probe

Yokogawa have introduced a high-speed high voltage differential probe for oscilloscope measurement applications.

The new probe has been designated the Model 701927 and it provides a differential high-voltage floating signal measurement capability when using the s using the Yokogawa DLM2000 Series of mixed-signal oscilloscopes and other instruments equipped with the Yokogawa probe interface.

The new 701927 probe has a 3 dB bandwidth which ranges up to 150 MHz starting at DC. It can measure either differential or common-mode voltages up to ±1400 V (DC plus AC peak) or 1000 V RMS.

The new 701927 probe includes a number of useful features including automatic attenuation detection, and it obtains its power supply via the Yokogawa probe interface. Also the input attenuation ratio is switchable between 1/50 and 1/500.

The probe also has a one metre extension cable. This enables the probe to be used in thermostatic chambers or for measurements on large or hot devices is included as standard. Even when this extension is used, a bandwidth of 100 MHz is maintained

Yokogawa have suggested that the new 701927 probe is ideally suited to applications in a number of areas of electronic test and measurement including mechatronics, automotive and power electronics sectors. It can be used for testing devices such as motors, power supplies and invertors.
