The HP/Agilent 1160A is a miniature passive oscilloscope probe engineered for the Infiniium 54810A, 54815A, 54820A, and 54825A series. This high-impedance probe delivers 500 MHz system bandwidth (scope + probe) with a 10:1 attenuation ratio, making it suitable for general-purpose signal measurement and circuit characterization. The probe’s compact form factor and removable handle enable access to densely populated PCBs without compromising measurement fidelity.
