Probe Gain and Bandwidth

Probe Case Size

2.1" (54mm) long x 0.8"(20mm) high x1.4"(36mm) wide

BNC input connector

1mm ground pin connector

Maximum Instrument Noise

Voltage clamp modes measured with the internal 4 pole Bessel filter and minimum external noise.

Current clamp modes have noise levels less than 20µV with inputs shorted.

Internal Bandwidth

For voltage clamping only the bandwidth is settable from 10kHz to 100kHz.

Membrane Current Output Range

Membrane Voltage Output Range

10mV/mV-1V/mV

Filter

4 pole Bessel filter with 6 pre-set values, and bypass: 0.5 kHz, 1.0 kHz, 2.0 kHz, 5.0 kHz, 10.0 kHz, and 20.0 kHz.
