Oscilloscope Probes An oscilloscope probe is a fundamental part of an analog measurement system. Without an appropriate probe, the best oscilloscope is useless. For that reason, it is essential to choose the right probe to connect the circuit under test to your oscilloscope. Passive probes have the most widespread use in application and are comprised of only passive circuit elements. Active probes are ideal in cases where extremely low capacitance is required for high-frequency measurements or a measurement needs isolation from a given ground reference. Current probes are ideal for applications...

PXI Oscilloscope + Probe Compatibility Not all PXI Oscilloscopes can be used with all probes - a passive probe's 1 MQ input capacitance range may not accommodate the 1 MQ input capacitance of a certain oscilloscope, and current probes can only be used with oscilloscopes that have a 1 MQ input. All of NI's oscilloscope probes have BNC connections, so PXI Oscilloscopes with SMA or SMB front panel connectors will require adapters, as noted in the table below. Single-Ended Passive Probes SP500X - Y Y Y Single-Ended and Differential Active Probes 1 Requires SMB to BNC adapter 2 Requires...
