NI SP200B Oscilloscope Passive Probe

The NI SP200B is a single-ended passive oscilloscope probe engineered for general-purpose signal acquisition across DC to 200 MHz applications. Its switchable 1X/10X attenuation accommodates both high-impedance and high-bandwidth measurement scenarios, making it suitable for electronics development, testing, and research workflows. The probe delivers 1.5 ns rise time in 10X mode and accepts input signals up to ±60 VDC or 42 V peak AC, with integrated compensation adjustment for optimal coupling across varying circuit impedances.
