The Keysight N2825A is a user-defined resistor tip accessory that extends the measurement capabilities of the N2820A and N2821A high-sensitivity current probes. This head accepts user-selected sense resistors mounted directly on the Device Under Test, enabling customized current measurement setups without a fixed resistor value. Users select sense resistor values from 1 mΩ to 1 MΩ and input the chosen value into the oscilloscope to achieve accurate current calculations.

– Key Features
• Bare head design—no integrated resistor included
• Quick-connect Make-Before-Break connectors for multi-point probing without circuit interruption
• Dual-channel zoom capability for simultaneous low- and high-gain measurement views
• Sense resistor value configurable via oscilloscope interface
– Compatibility & Integration
The N2825A integrates exclusively with Keysight N2820A (2-channel) and N2821A (1-channel) high-sensitivity current probes. Both probes feature the AutoProbe interface for direct oscilloscope connection. Compatible oscilloscopes include InfiniiVision 3000 X-Series, 4000 X-Series, and Infiniium S-Series models. Legacy Infiniium V, 9000A, 90000 X-, and 90000 Q-Series oscilloscopes do not support these probe systems.
