HP 16535A MultiProbe Control Module |
The HP MultiProbe system makes it possible to connect scope probes to hundreds of nodes simultaneously, then select any two signals at a time for scope acquisition and viewing, without having to move scope probes. The HP MultiProbe system is part of HP's 16500C logic analysis system, so you have all the tools you need to solve difficutl problems in complex digital hardware.
An HP MultiProbe system consists of the following components:
One control module is required. Multiple control modules can be usedwhen more than four MultiProbe pods are needed, or when more than two scope channels are desired. When using the HP 16533A or 16534A oscilloscope, the control module and its associated scope module must be in the same HP 16500C mainframe or HP 16501 expander frame.
Specifications and characteristics apply only within an ambient temperature range of +10oC from the temperature at which self-calibration was performed.
