Safety Information
Prevent personal injury, fire and product damage.
To avoid personal injury and to prevent fire or damage to this product or
products connected to it, review and comply with the following safety
precautions.
Be aware that if you use this probe assembly in a manner not specified the
protection this product provides may be impaired.
Only qualified personnel should use this probe assembly.
Use only grounded instruments.
Do not connect the differential probe’s ground input to a potential other than
earth ground.
Alwaysmake sure the probe and the measurement instrument are grounded
properly.
Connect and disconnect properly.
Connect the probe output to the measurement instrument. Optionally connect the
differential probe’s ground input to earth ground before connecting the
probe’s differential inputs to the circuit under test. Disconnect the probe
inputs and the probe ground connection from the circuit under test before
disconnecting the probe from the measurement instrument.
Observe probe and probe accessory ratings.
Do not apply any electrical potential to the probe input which exceeds the
maximum ratings of the probe or the accessories connected to it. In a
combination always the lower rating / measurement category applies to both
probe and accessories connected to it.

Do not operate the product in an explosive atmosphere.
About HSDP Series
The HSDP series offers best-in-class performance with >2GHz models up to ±42V
differential input range, and ±8V up to >4GHz bandwidth. The high input
impedance, low noise, and 60V common mode voltage range the different models
ideal for various in-circuit measurements for design, validation, debugging of
analog signals, such as used in switched mode power supplies.
The HSDP probes series is also ideal for characterizing a wide range of serial
bus designs, supporting the most popular serial bus interfaces, such as
USB2.0, Ethernet (GbE), CAN/LIN, I2C, SPI, SATA, FireWire (1394b), FlexRay,
HDMI etc.
The HSDP series features the industry standard 2.54mm (0.1“) socketed inputs
that can easily interface to a variety of connectivity options available in
the market. The compact probe head design, and its variety of accessories,
makes the HSDP series ideal for probing on today’s smallest IC devices.
Individual Connectivity Accessories for Highest Signal Fidelity
The input offset capability extends the input range of the probe. Having an input capacitance of <0.6pF || 1MΩ between the probe tips, allows the HSDP Series to be used to probe sensitive circuits without adversely loading the circuit under test.
The HSDP-Series uses a PMK custom high speed FET input amplifier that provides a superior high frequency response, as well as low noise and low distortion to accurately capture the signals being measured.
All models are available with either a 7.5m or 1.3m cable length. These longer
cable versions enable the user to probe remote, hard to reach test points that
are impossible with the other probing solution in the market today.
The HSDP Series has a universal BNC output connector and is compatible with
any oscilloscope with a 50Ω input impedance, or 1MΩ input impedance and a 50Ω
feed-through termination, allowing the HSDP Series to be used on any
oscilloscope in the lab.
HSDP-Series’ DC offset can be controlled via remote control. The “PMK Probe
Control” software provides the ability for the user to control the probe
remotely via a computer, and provides the user with a graphical user
interface. The software is free of charge, and included with PMK’s 2ch and
4ch power supplies, PS2 and PS3, which are required to power the probe. The
PS2 and PS3 power supplies have a USB interface as well as an optional LAN
interface. The new AP-01, 1 channel battery pack power supply, provides >8h of
portable and isolated operation, which allows the user the flexibility of
where the probe can be used. The AP-01 supplies power only to the probe with
no software remote control.
Specifications
Read the Instruction Manual before first use, and keep it for future
reference. A digital copy of the latest Instruction Manual revision can be
downloaded at www.pmk.de
Specifications that are not marked with (*) as guaranteed are typical. Warm-up
time is 20 minutes.
The electrical specifications are separated in multiple Tables. Each
specification is determined when using a PS2 power supply at +23 °C ambient
temperature. This probe comes with 1 year warranty.
