Passive Probes

All InfiniiVision oscilloscopes recognize passive probes such as the 10073C, 10074C and

1165A. These probes have a pin on their connector that connects to the ring around the

oscilloscope’s BNC connector. Therefore, the oscilloscope will automatically set the

attenuation factor for recognized Agilent passive probes.

Passive probes that do not have a pin that connects to the ring around the BNC connector

will not be recognized by the oscilloscope, and you must set the probe attenuation factor

manually. See page 80.

The following passive probes can be used with the InfiniiVision oscilloscopes. Any

combination of passive probes can be used.
