Many engineers today need to verify their products' performance over a wide range of operating temperatures. Until now,
testing in extreme temperature ranges required engineers to use probes outside their specified operating temperatures, which
can damage probes. Whether active or passive, most probes have a specified operating temperature range from 0 to 50 degrees
Celsius. The new Keysight Technologies, Inc. N2797A extreme temperature active probe can operate over a much wider range,
from -40 to 85 C. Engineers can operate the probe head and the supplied probing accessories inside a temperature chamber,
with the probe pod and oscilloscope located outside the temperature chamber.
Reliability temperature testing is very import-
ant in the electronics design process. It helps
to detect product failure in the early stages;
figure out reasonable calibration/warranty
time; and understand the product's long term
performance under extreme temperature
conditions. The electronics industry classifies
temperatures into three general ranges. First
is a so-called standard range or commercial
grade, over which products are fully warrant-
ed and typically span from 0
