I've just asked again for the sample.

They got back to me. The R&D team are all working on the isolated probe and have no time to finish the current probe :o so there will be delays.
Sounds like they think the isolated fibre optic probe will overtake the traditional high voltage probe, they want to know if I'm interested in getting one.

If you can sell it for less than $10000 yeah. IsoVue probes are not cheap to replace...

This optical probe probably has much more potential $ ahead, so that's where the emphasis goes!!
Get one if you can, that would be interesting to see what they've done. Wonder if they've found a way to pump enough optical power back up the fiber to power the head?
Best,

We probed a shunt riding on a 25kHz 700V Output (square, not sinus) with an early https://saker-mv.com/fiber-optic-isolated-voltage-probe-xfvp-l/ . This worked fine so - there are cheaper and also working solutions which are not soooo expensive as those from Textronix.
btw: somewere in the X-Chapters a detailed description for this optical probes from Tek can be found.

It's a little ridiculous honestly. Makes one want to try to DIY a probe using https://docs.broadcom.com/doc/AFBR-POCxxxL-DS or something. I'd rather spend $3000 than $7500+ to get isolated HV gan/sic measurements
Alphaprot:
I am still wondering how MicSig is going to justify the almost 2x price difference between the BNC and the UPI version which at least to the datasheet/catalog page and the CP1003/CP503 manual is indistinguishable performancewise. This makes no real sense to me other than forcing people onto your scope platform.
