Temperature Chamber Testing with Extreme Temperature Active Probe
Application Notes
Many engineers today need to verify their products’ performance over a wide range of operating temperatures. Until now, testing in extreme temperature ranges required engineers to use probes outside their specified operating temperatures, which can damage probes. Whether active or passive, most probes have a specified operating temperature range from 0 to 50 degrees Celsius. The new Keysight Technologies, Inc. N2797A extreme temperature active probe can operate over a much wider range, from -40 to 85 C. Engineers can operate the probe head and the supplied probing accessories inside a temperature chamber, with the probe pod and oscilloscope located outside the temperature chamber.
