DATA SHEET DP001xA Series Differential Active Probes For Keysight InfiniiVision X-Series and Infiniium Oscilloscopes Introduction Keysight Technologies’ DP001xA Series differential active probes provide the superior general-purpose differential signal measurements that’s required for many of today’s high-speed power-related measurements such as motor drives, automotive differential bus measurements, and high-speed digital systems design. The DP001xA Series differential active probes are available in bandwidth models ranging from 250 MHz up to 1.7 GHz with a wide input dynamic range and a probe offset range up to ±60 vo

The DP001xA Series probes are equipped with Keysight Technologies’ AutoProbel interface that provides power and DC offset to the active circuitry of the probe’s differential amplifier, as well as automatic attenuation settings based on the oscilloscope’s vertical scale setting. These probes are compatible with most of Keysight’s InfiniiVision X-Series and Infiniium oscilloscopes that provide selectable 50-Q input terminations with the AutoProbel interface. Select from the following models to meet your differential probing requirements. Maximum differential ±8.4 Volts peak on 17:1 auto attenuation...

Probing Accessories Keysight Technologies’ DP001xA Series differential active probes come in a hard plastic carrying case and are supplied with the standard accessories shown in Figure 2. Socketed Y-lead pair Solder-in Y-lead pair 90° socketed ground lead Microcircuit hook test Adjustable probing browser Straight pins Figure 2. Standard probing accessories that come with each DP001xA Series differential active probe. Figure 3. The DP001xA differential active probe with its standard case and accessories.

For replacement parts of the standard accessories, the DP0021A accessories kit can be ordered and includes the same items shown in Figure 2. Many of these accessories can also be ordered individually (refer to the Ordering Information table near the end of this document). Not included as standard accessories, nor included in the DP0021A accessory kit, are the following four optional accessories shown in Figure 4.
