Several months ago I contacted Pintek and asked them to design a new differential probe with specific characteristics: a low-voltage (65V) high-sensitivity (1mVrms) differential probe that works nicely together with the upgraded Rigol DS1054Z (100 MHz BW). The idea was that it would give hobbyists the chance to turn their upgraded Rigol DS1054Z into a fully fledged 4-channel 100MHz digital isolated scope, without loosing bandwidth :) They actually liked my suggestion, and handed it over as a task to one of their engineers. I followed up with Pintek recently to check on their progress, and they confirmed that the differential probe is ready in the mean time. In attachment are some specifications. While I asked for 100 MHz bandwidth, the final design is limited to 60 MHz. I will come back with more details on that limitation and also a price range, when I get this information from Pintek. For reference: My original email to Pintek: "Hello, I read more information about the DP-30HS differential probe. Really nice feature set. Only a pity that you don't have the low voltage (65V) high sensitivity (1mVrms) differential probe in 100MHz version. If you would have 4 of those differential probes, you could turn an upgraded Rigol DS1054Z into a fully-fledged 4-channel 100MHz digital isolated scope :) This would be a unique piece of equipment! Why does high bandwidth (100 MHz) always go hand in hand with high voltages (+1KV)? Do you see my point about low voltage, high speed differential probe with 100 MHz? It could turn every hobbyist's 100 MHz scope into an isolated scope, without loosing bandwidth. Hobbyists working on digital design projects, need the bandwidth, and at same time can make mistakes when measuring in their circuits. So I believe it makes sense. Regards, Pascal" The feedback from Pintek: "Dear Pascal, Thank you for your e-mail. I have passed your info to our engineer. We will develop a new model of different probe. The spec is: Bandwidth: 100MHz, Voltage: 65V Sensitivity: 1mVrms By the way, can you please let me know your location? In Europe? Or US? Thank you" [/quote] |

Good to see a company listening to their customers! Here is the closest, current product: Pintek DP-30HS This looks to be about $225 to $250, so I'd guess $250 to $300 for this new one. Too expensive for me, but still a step in the right direction. |

Hello, how/where does one buy this particular probe in the US? Thanks |
| alank2:
Did this probe ever get released? If so, where is it available for sale? |
| pascal_sweden:
Yes, it has been released in the mean time. www.pintek.com.tw/product_detail/landersound/index.php?Product_SN=224408&Company_SN=6002&Product_Site_Classify_SN=17072 You can buy directly from Pintek. Or check with them for a local distributor in your area. |
