Hi There,
we have a MSOX6004A and we are considering buying a N7020A Power Rail Probe, is this probe compatible with the 6000 series ?
I found some doc references with a note saying that it is compatible with the 4000's series but not the 6000.
Thanks & Regards
Hello,
There was a hardware change to the InfiniiVision 6000 X-Series oscilloscopes to allow them to be compatible with the N7020A power rail probe. This was not just a firmware change. The hardware changes happened on around Feb 1, 2016, and the serial number break of the oscilloscopes that support the probe is MY5603XXXX or SG5603XXXX.
The description on the N7020A web page put this accurately:
"The N7020A power rail probe can be used with the Keysight InfiniiVision 3000T and 4000 X-Series oscilloscopes, InfiniiVision 6000 X-Series oscilloscopes ordered after Feb 1, 2016, the Infiniium S-Series DSO and MSO high-definition oscilloscope and the Infiniium 9000 Series DSO and MSO oscilloscopes running software revision 5.20 or newer."
The information you saw about 6000 X-Series oscilloscopes not being supported is out-of-date and needs to be updated.
Best Regards,
Pat
