This AC/DC current measurement probe provides 20 MHz of frequency

bandwidth with selectable range control for 25 A and 150 A measurement

ranges. It also provides low-current measurement capability and accuracy

to current levels as low as 5 mA per division — important for achieving

broad dynamic current range of high-level and low-level measurement

signals.
