AutoProbe Interface

AutoProbe is an intelligent communication and power link between compatible probes and HP Infinium Oscilloscopes. AutoProbe completely configures the scope for the attached probe. For instance, it identifies the probe type and sets up the proper input impedance, attenuation ratio, probe power and offset range, as needed.
