Yes, I got SPL2106 at the discounted rate. Is there any point getting 500MHz probes over 350MHz? Unclear how good the front end is. Maybe https://probemaster.com/5900-series-500-mhz-oscilloscope-probe-10x/ with the readout pin (not sure if that works on Siglent) |

But passive probes have limited use over 200-300MHz anyways. They present as a too much load to source.. Those Probemaster with readout pin should work no problem. Compensation range will be at the edge. But I wouldn't buy new probes yet. Ones that come with the scope are more than good enough.. If you really don't like them (mechanically, or how they feel in hand) or they get damaged then you can always buy new ones.. And if you do decide to buy new ones, 300Mhz passive probes will do just fine. |
