1 DP0001A Probe - Overview
CAUTION
Introduction
The DP0001A probe is a 400 MHz, 2000V (Mains Isolated) / 1000V (CAT III)
differential high voltage probe that you can use with a Keysight oscilloscope
having 50Ω input impedance.
You can use this probe effectively for the following measurements:
• General purpose power, Wide Bandgap (WBG) devices, and fast transient
power measurements with bandwidths of up to 400 MHz.
• Power device evaluation such as measurements in IGBT circuits used in the
design of motor drives, switching power supplies and frequency especially for
characterizing 1700 V IGBT modules for inverters and converters.
• Non-ground referenced floating signal measurements.
Following are the key features of this probe:
• When used with an Infiniium oscilloscope, the probe supports an
auto-switchable attenuation ratio that automatically sets the probe attenuation
to the value necessary to make the dynamic range of the probe greater than or
equal to the level required to measure the current input signal.
When used with an InfiniiVision oscilloscope, the probe provides four manually
switchable modes of attenuation so that you can set the probe attenuation to
the value necessary to make the dynamic range of the probe greater than or
equal to the level required to measure the current input signal.
• Provides an overload indicator using which you can easily observe that the
probe is working within the specified range.
6 Keysight DP0001A High Voltage Differential Probe User’s Guide
You can configure the attenuation, offset, and other settings for the probe using
the Infiniium / InfiniiVision software GUI provided with the Keysight oscilloscopes.
A variety of accessories are shipped with this probe to suit various DUT connection
scenarios and to make the connection to compact target devices possible (see
page 9).
Before using the probe, refer to “Safety and Regulatory
Information" on page 27. Handle the probe with care and avoid any
mechanical shocks to this product to ensure accurate performance
and protection.

The probe’s output connector has the AutoProbe I interface that allows it
to connect directly to a channel of a compatible Keysight InfiniiVision or
Infiniium oscilloscope.
The oscilloscope’s AutoProbe interface provides the probe power and
auto-configuration of probe type and attenuation setting on connection.

probe.
are four LEDs for the four attenuation modes of the probe.
On an Infiniium oscilloscope, the attenuation is automatically adjusted.
On an InfiniiVision oscilloscope, you need to manually set the
appropriate attenuation mode.
Adjusting the attenuation for the probe can prevent/resolve the
overvoltage condition. On an Infiniium oscilloscope, the attenuation is
automatically adjusted. On an InfiniiVision oscilloscope, you need to
manually set the appropriate attenuation mode.
Refer to the topics Setting the Attenuation Mode on page 32 and
page 34 to know more.

For extreme temperature probing, you can use the N7013/14A extreme
temperature probing kit with the DP0001A probe. The N7013A extreme
temperature cable set provides -40 °C to + 85 °C of operating temperature range
and extends the input cable length by 70 cm. You can order this kit separately.
