PVM series portable high voltage probes are exceptionally high frequency response designed for general use. The probes have applications such as:
- Automotive ignition
- Excimer laser system measurement
- Circuit breaker testing
- Klystron modulator.
PVM probes are factory calibrated, and do not require adjustment. Generally the probes are for use with 1 MΩ oscilloscopes, but an optional switch is also offered which can compensate for various measurement instruments such as 10 MΩ meters as well. These units are intended for a wide range of applications where portability and ease of use are essential.
Stock is available of standard PVM-1 and PVM-5 probes.
