The Rigol RP1006C is a Hall effect current probe for oscilloscope-based AC and DC current measurement. It converts measured current into a proportional voltage signal (0.01 V/A) for direct display and analysis on any compatible waveform measuring instrument. The probe accommodates insulated conductors up to 20 mm diameter and delivers DC to 2 MHz bandwidth with 175 ns rise time, making it suitable for transient and steady-state current analysis across industrial, power electronics, and laboratory applications.

– Compatibility & Integration
Requires the Rigol RP1000P Current Probe Power Supply (sold separately). Output connects via BNC connector to oscilloscope or waveform analyzer with minimum 1 MΩ input impedance. Instruments with 50 Ω input impedance are incompatible and will not provide accurate measurements. Operates in controlled indoor environments, 0–40°C, ≤80% RH, altitude to 2,000 m.
