The Agilent 10073C is a passive X10 oscilloscope probe engineered for general-purpose signal acquisition across low to mid-frequency applications. With 500 MHz bandwidth and 10:1 attenuation, it delivers a calculated system risetime of <700 ps while maintaining high input impedance of 2.2 MΩ to minimize circuit loading. The probe accepts up to 500 V CAT I (mains isolated) or 400 V peak CAT II (post receptacle mains), making it suitable for moderately high-voltage test environments.
