The Tektronix TIVP1 IsoVu is a 1 GHz isolated differential probe engineered for high-fidelity measurements in electrically challenging environments. It delivers complete galvanic isolation between measurement system and device under test through optical isolation and power-over-fiber technology, making it essential for accurate differential measurements across high common-mode voltages and fast signal slewing rates. The second-generation design reduces physical size to one-fifth that of earlier models while maintaining full performance, with a solid metal body that minimizes shielding challenges and ground loop area.
