The TA042 is an active differential probe suitable for high common-mode voltage measurement applications up to ±1400 V (DC + peak AC). It is capable of acquiring high-speed signals up to 100 MHz.
Differential probes extend the functionality of standard single-ended input oscilloscopes to allow a safe and accurate method of making high-voltage differential measurements. Applications include measurements in power circuits and acquisition of low-speed, low-voltage, balanced differential signals found in serial communications buses.
The custom probes feature allows you to correct for gain, attenuation, offsets and nonlinearities in probes, sensors or transducers that you connect to the oscilloscope. A simple use would be to linearly scale the output of a current probe so that it correctly displays amperes. A more advanced use would be to scale the output of a nonlinear temperature sensor using the table lookup function.
Definitions for standard Pico-supplied oscilloscope probes and current clamps are included. User-created probes may be saved for later use.
