Extreme Temperature Probing Solutions
for Oscilloscope Measurements
Industry's most comprehensive extreme-temperature
chamber testing solutions for oscilloscopes

• Perfect probing solution for extreme environmental testing
• Supports temperature ranges up to –55 to +150 °C
Many engineers have a need to monitor their product in an
environmental chamber with an oscilloscope probe to verify
performance over a wide range of operating temperatures or
to determine the cause of failures at high or low temperatures.
Until now, testing in extreme temperature ranges required
engineers to use probes outside their speciied operating temperatures, which can damage probes. Most active or passive
probes in the market have a speciied operating temperature
range anywhere from 0 to 50 °C. However, Agilent’s N2797A
extreme temperature active probe can be operated over a
much wider –40 to +85 °C range. This allows you to operate
the probe head and the supplied probing accessories inside
a temperature chamber with the probe pod and oscilloscope
located outside the temperature chamber.

solder-in probe head, this solution provides engineers with the
widest temperature range coverage of –55 to 150 °C, which
is the maximum temperature range speciied for automotiveelectronics testing.

For extended temperature testing with more extreme temperature range measurements, Agilent offers the N5450B
IniniiMax extreme-temperature extension cable with the
IniniiMax Series differential probing system, which gives
engineers the ability to probe signals at even wider temperature ranges. When used with the Agilent N5381A differential

This extreme temperature probing solution provides an ideal
solution for engineers working with the semiconductor,
consumer, wireless mobile devices, automotive electronics,
and computer industries who need to validate and characterize their designs while operating within extreme temperature
ranges.

When accurate and repeatable current measurements inside
the chamber are critical over wide temperature ranges, the
N2820A/21A high-sensitivity current probe is the best choice,
especially for precision current measurement applications.
When the user-deined head is used with the N2820A/21A
current probe, it provides the industry’s highest sensitivity current measurement solution among oscilloscope current probes,
going all the way down to 50 uA with a maximum current range
of 5 A operating over the temperature range of –55 to 150 °C.
