The following tables indicate if you need to order an N2852A, an N5442A, or an N5449A adapter with your probe.
If you order an N5449A, the adapter comes with an N2873A passive probe.

InfiniiMode Active Differential Probes

InfiniiMode compatible probes allow convenient measurements of differential, single ended, and common mode signals with a single probe tip without reconnecting the probe to change the connection. They are compatible with the Infiniium oscilloscope's AutoProbe interface, which completely configures the Infiniium series of oscilloscopes for the probes.

InfiniiMax Active Differential Probes

InfiniiMax probes provide a versatile probing solution for both single-ended active and differential probing. InfiniiMax probes consist of the probe amplifiers listed below and a large assortment of probing heads that attach to the probe amplifiers. All InfiniiMax probes connect to the oscilloscope using an AutoProbe interface.

Single-Ended Active Probes

Single-ended active probes contain a small, active amplifier built into the probe body near the probe tip. This arrangement makes it possible to keep the probe input capacitance very low, usually less than 2 pF. This low capacitance results in high input impedance on high frequencies. It has the best overall combination of resistive and capacitive loading. With such low loading, active probes can be used on high-impedance circuits that would be seriously loaded by passive probes. Active probes are the least intrusive of all the probes.

High-Voltage Differential Probes

Both passive and active high-voltage probes are available. To ensure safe operation, read the user's guide before using the probe. High voltage differential probes allow for safe and accurate floating signal measurements between two voltage points where neither point is referenced to ground. Enabled by high CMRR, a high voltage differential probe simplifies the measurement challenges found in noisy, high common-mode power electronics environments.
