Using the Probe
Oscilloscope Compatibility
The N2818A and N2819A probes are compatible with the Keysight
oscilloscopes shown in
. Up to four probes can be connected to the
oscilloscope at the same time. The table also lists the minimum required
firmware version for the oscilloscope.
Is Your Oscilloscope Software Up-to-Date? Keysight periodically releases
software updates to support your probe, fix known defects, and

Handling the Probe
Handle the probe with care and refer to the safety notices in this manual.
Note that the probe cable and the extreme temperature extension cables
are sensitive parts and, therefore, you should be careful not to damage
them through excessive bending or pulling. You should also avoid any
mechanical shocks to this probe in order to guarantee accurate
performance and protection.
NOTE
The N2818A and N2819A probes are designed for oscilloscopes with
50
Ω
AutoProbe-interface channel inputs. The AutoProbe interface
provides the power to the probe.
