HP E1222-62107 Calibration probe

[IRFP460]

I found a HP E1222-62107 Calibration probe in the dumpster yesterday, but I can't seem to find any data for it.
It is active, has a weirdly big ground contact and a sub D connector for power and signal.

Do any of you guy know what it is for, what can one calibrate with it?

The HP E1222-62107 appears to have been part of the HP 82000 IC Evaluation System that HP introduced in the early nineties. The HP 82000 getting started manual has a little information on the use of the calibration probe, and refers to the "Maintaining the HP 82000" manual for which I can't find an online copy for more information about using the calibration probe.

I imagine this probe was used for characterizing the cabling and fixture between the IC tester and the device under test (IC). You may be able to find technical details in the HP82000 maintenance and service guides. I'm not sure if it will be useful as a general-purpose probe. The article starting on page 58 of The 1989-12 HP Journal issue may give you some information about how the HP 82000 worked.

Do you still have that probe?
