The Keysight (Agilent) U4203A is a 34-channel, single-ended flying lead logic analyzer probe that connects directly to compatible Keysight logic analyzers via a 160-pin interface. Purpose-built for hand-held probing of individual test points, it enables signal acquisition from arbitrarily located nodes within a target system for digital design debugging and verification. The probe maintains signal fidelity through carefully modeled input impedance characteristics and supports differential clock input, making it essential for accurate logic analysis across complex digital circuits.
Technical Specifications
• Channels: 34 single-ended
• Probe Configuration: Flying lead, direct connect

– Compatibility & Integration
The U4203A integrates with Keysight 16850-series portable logic analyzers and U4154A/B AXIe-based logic analysis modules. One probe covers the 16851A (34 channels); two units support the 16852A (68 channels), three support the 16853A (102 channels), and four support the 16854A (136 channels). Accessories designed for Keysight 1156A/57A/58A oscilloscope probes are directly compatible.
