PASSIVE PROBES 40 40
PASSIVE PROBES Passive probes are the standard probe provided with most oscilloscopes. Typical passive probes provide a ÷10 attenuation and feature a high input resistance of 10 MΩ. This high input resistance means that passive probes are the ideal tool for low frequency signals since circuit loading at these frequencies is minimized. Passive probes are designed to handle voltages of at least 400 V, some as high as 600 V.
PASSIVE PROBES Each passive probe is recommended for a certain oscilloscope, using the right passive probe with the right oscilloscope means that the probe can be properly compensated across the entire bandwidth. Using probes with a different oscilloscope will only let you compensate for low frequencies.
