Press Release Summary:
Series N278xA oscilloscope probe positioners provide stable probe positioning for making measurements on PC boards and other devices that require hands-free probing. Models N2784A and N2785A utilize weight stabilization technique that applies constant pressure at probing point allowing probe tip to stay in position even when target board is bumping. N2786A is XY axis probe holder for general-purpose probing applications, while N2787A is 3D probe positioner with flexible, articulating arm.
Original Press Release:
Agilent Technologies Introduces Full Suite of Oscilloscope Probe Positioners
SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 29, 2009 -- Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today introduced four new oscilloscope probe positioners. The N278xA Series probe positioners provide quick and stable probe positioning for making measurements on PC boards and other devices that require hands-free probing.
Unlike other probe positioners that require multiple adjustments to lock the probe holder into position, the N2784A one-arm positioner and N2785A two-arm positioner need only a "lift and drop" motion. The weight stabilization technique used in the probe holder keeps constant pressure at the probing point so the probe tip stays in position even when the target board is bumped.
The N2786A is a low-cost, easy-to-use XY axis probe holder for general-purpose probing applications. The two-legged positioner is designed to be easy to use; the positioner itself has no controls to position it in place.
The Agilent N2787A is a 3-D probe positioner with a flexible, articulating arm that can be quickly positioned in a wide variety of configurations. It also allows fine adjustments to the probe location to obtain stable contact.
These probe positioners fit most Agilent passive and active probes and are also compatible with various probes manufactured by other vendors.
U.S. Pricing and Availability
The Agilent N2784A Series probe positioners are available now, with prices starting at $60. Information about the Agilent N2784A family is available at www.agilent.com/find/probe_positioners.
