N2891A Performance Verification Procedures
N2891A Performance Verification Procedures
The following procedure can be used to test and verify the DC differential
gain accuracy and bandwidth of the N2891A high voltage differential
probe. Please note that these procedures do not indicate that these
characteristics are warranted. Instead, these procedures are meant to give
you an idea of how your probe performs.

Generator produces hazardous voltages. To avoid shock, do not touch
exposed metal parts after generator output is enabled.
These procedures require the application of high voltage to the inputs of
the N2891A probe. Because this adapter has exposed metal surfaces,
only qualified personnel should perform any testing with voltage levels
exceeding 30 Vrms. All pertinent safety rules and guidelines for elevated
voltage measurements should be followed and adhered to.
