Active Probe ATE2000 with ground blade

The ATE2000 active probe, with up to 2.5GHz bandwidth and 6m long cable length, enables its use in the dynamic in-circuit measurements in the automated test equipment (ATE) environment. ATE2000 is specifically designed for use in automated 3D positioning systems, e.g. flying probers or other XYZ positioning systems. The flexible reference connection lead accessories ensure high bandwidth, >1GHz, repeatable measurements between test points that are up to 50mm apart while maintaining the best signal fidelity.

The wide dynamic input voltage range of ±8V, up to 2.5GHz bandwidth and high 2MΩ||0.6pF input impedance, makes the ATE2000 a versatile probing solution for various applications, like automated failure analysis and trouble-shooting in service centers of electronic devices, or testing of safety-related electronics e.g. in autonomous fly and drive applications. The probe’s universal BNC interface is compatible with oscilloscopes with 50Ω input impedance. The ATE2000’s long 6m cable provides the ability to probe remote, hard to reach points.

Unlike other single-ended probes the ATE2000 is equipped with a high impedance 1MΩ probe tip reference connection, which enables safe in-circuit testing of an energized circuit without the possibility for shorting the probe tip reference connection directly to earth ground and therewith damaging the circuit under test.

ATE2000’s offset can be controlled via remote control. The "PMK Probe Control” software provides the ability for the user to control the probe remotely via a computer, and provides the user with a graphical user interface. The software is free of charge, and included with PMK’s 2ch and 4ch power supplies PS-02 and PS-03, which are required to power the probe. The power supplies all have a USB interface and are available with optional LAN interface.

The new 1 channel battery pack power supply AP-01 provides >8h of portable and isolated operation which allows the user the flexibility of where the probe can be used. The AP-01 supplies power only to the probe with no software remote control.
