I'm not a fan of HPAK's model numbering/naming schemes, but this one takes the cake.

I know, right? Declutter the bench a bit.

No more having your expensive scope probe's coax falling onto the soldering iron.  :-DD

I think it is an April fools video. Look at what is used as an antenna on the scope.

I wonder if this will work on my Tektronix 2465, HP 54201D and Hantek DSO5102P scopes.  I would need 8 of these.  Any word on the cost?

Considering the engineering investment to achieve the impossible, you probably don't really want to know the cost. :-DD

My favorite bit was the 'disclaimer' bits at the end, including 'no probes were harmed in the making of this video'
Whoah! Watch where that landed we might need it later.

Keysight is way behind the Chinese PCB assembling houses who have been using wireless static dissipation bracelets for awhile year around, not on this day only.

Compatible with all scopes, but if you have to ask the cost...

How long did it take you to memorize the part number?

Once we got a teleprompter things like that got much easier!

I mean, that's a normal part number, right?

Nice! A whirlass probe. I'll wait for some "don't plug it in! Take it apart"  :popcorn:

That research budget must have been enormous.

Nice video!

Well it was either this or developing a switchable 1x/10x probe that actually works properly. So the R&D rather tackled the easier wireless probe project.

I think it would be too short a number for an OSRAM LED, e.g. a "LUW CRDP-LRLT-HPJR-1-350-R18" (https://www.digikey.com/products/en?keywords=475-3127-1-ND)
