HF2 Series Pre-Amplifiers

The Best Test & Measurement Approach

There is a considerable advantage in accuracy for many measurement setups when the experiment stands independently of the measurement instrument. With the use of suitable pre-amplifiers, inconvenient electrical lines from the setup to the instrument are avoided, interference on the analogue signals is minimized, and impedance matching is enabled. Zurich Instruments features a line of active probes with configurable input impedance, a wide operational range, and seamless integration with the measurement instrument software.
