Extending the Operating Range of InfiniiMax Probes

應用說明

This application note describes how to extend the operating range of Keysight Technologies, Inc. InfiniiMax probes in voltage, temperature, and distance (reach) between probe amplifiers and heads.

Operating at high or low temperatures

You may need to monitor a system in a temperature chamber with an oscilloscope probe to verify performance over a wide range of operating temperature, or to determine the cause of failures at high or low temperatures. Keysight InfiniiMax probe amplifiers (1130 Series and 1160 Series) have a specified operating temperature range from 5° C to 40°C. However, the probe heads can be operated over a much wider range (see Table 1). You can use the Keysight N5450A extension cable set (Figure 1) to physically separate the probe heads from the probe amplifiers. This will allow you to operate the probe heads inside a temperature chamber with the probe amplifier located outside the temperature chamber.
