N28xxA/B Passive Probes

Data Sheets

Introduction

The Keysight N28xxA/B low-cost, general-purpose passive probes provide up to 500 MHz bandwidth and feature a high input resistance of 10 MΩ for low probe loading.

These probes provide a 10:1 attenuation ratio except for the N2889A which provides a switch in the probe handle for switching the attenuation ratio between 1:1 and 10:1.

The probes are compatible with Keysight InfiniiVision and Infiniium Series oscilloscopes with 1 MΩ BNC input.

The N284xA Series passive probes are the frequency tuned versions of the N2862B/63B/89A/90A, offering more linear frequency response with Keysight oscilloscopes.

Compensation Adjustments

These probes can be adjusted for low-frequency and high-frequency compensation. For the best measurement results you should compensate your probe to match its characteristics to the oscilloscope.

A poorly compensated probe can introduce measurement errors. Low-frequency compensation should be performed before performing high-frequency compensation.

Low-frequency compensation

1. Connect the probe from the appropriate oscilloscope channel to the 1-kHz square wave source.

2. Press Autoscale. Adjust the oscilloscope to display two to three cycles of the waveform over two to six vertical divisions.

3. Set the low-frequency (LF) compensation adjustment on the probe for the flattest pulse possible.
