Would micsig voltage probe fit series 4 usb pico oscilloscope?

Post by hewking »

hi All
I am completely new to pico oscilloscopes which i consider buing in the future so please help me to understand if the micsig voltage probe which has BNC connector to plug to my Rigol DS1074Z would fit pico oscilloscope - either 3000 or 4000 series. That probe has got the voltage output of 3V. Can it be configured to display properly in pico? Similar question would be for the micsig current probe Micsig CP2100B

more details below on the voltage probe

and on the current probe

Yes you can add custom probes. There is probably already a profile for this probe and if not you can make it in 2 minutes. And it display's the correct values even the special measurements use the correct values.

thanks for kind help. Micsig have the voltage output of 3V only so in my simplistic understanding as long as the voltage range provided by the probe is not too wide or outside pico scope (which vary from model to model) i should be generally ok?

I have never seen a active probe that outputs more than +/- 5V

But don't expect to measure accurate mv Values at a 1:500 or 1:100 probe.
If you want to measure low voltages with a floating differential probe there are special versions for low voltages that do 1:1 or 10:1 or even 100:1.
