1156A 1.5 GHz Active Probe

The 1156A 1.5 GHz Active Probe is a probe solution for high-frequency

applications. This probe is compatible with the AutoProbe Interface

which completely configures the Infiniium series of oscilloscopes for the

probe.

General Information

To inspect the probe

❏Inspect the shipping container for damage.

Keep a damaged shipping container or cushioning material until the contents of

the shipment have been checked for completeness and the instrument has been

checked mechanically and electrically.

❏Check the accessories.

Accessories supplied with the instrument are listed in "Accessories Supplied" in

table 1-1 later in this chapter.

• If the contents are incomplete or damaged notify your Agilent Technologies

Sales Office.

❏Inspect the probe.

• If there is mechanical damage or defect, or if the probe does not operate

properly or pass calibration tests, notify your Agilent Technologies Sales

Office.

• If the shipping container is damaged, or the cushioning materials show signs

of stress, notify the carrier as well as your Agilent Technologies Sales Office.

Keep the shipping materials for the carrier’s inspection. The Agilent

Technologies Office will arrange for repair or replacement at Agilent

Technologies’ option without waiting for claim settlement.
