The Agilent/Keysight N2824A is a 100 mΩ resistor tip accessory for the N2820A and N2821A high-sensitivity current probes. It enables precise measurement of current and detailed time-domain characterization within circuits, supporting demanding signal integrity and power integrity analysis. The interchangeable RSENSE probe head integrates with Keysight’s current probe architecture, delivering ±1% sensor accuracy across a 50 µA to 2.2 A measurement range with exceptional temperature stability.

– Compatibility & Integration
The N2824A is exclusively designed for the N2820A and N2821A high-sensitivity current probes. These probes integrate with Keysight oscilloscopes featuring 1 MΩ AutoProbe-interface channels, including Infiniium and InfiniiVision series with appropriate firmware support. Note: Infiniium V, 90000A, 90000 X-, and 90000 Q-Series oscilloscopes are not compatible with the N2820A/N2821A probe family. The N2824A is not compatible with InfiniiMax III/III+ probing systems.
