BumbleBee? is a 400 MHz, 1 kV CAT III high-voltage, differential probe, that can be used with any
oscilloscope or device providing 50 Ω termination. The probe is very effective in power device evaluation such as measurements in IGBT circuits used in design of motor drives, switching power supplies and
frequency converters.
BumbleBee? is also very effective in fast transient measurements with bandwidths up to 400 MHz.
It provides a 4-mode-attenuation which allows higher resolution measurements. The probe provides overload indicators for each channel as well as the differential output. They make it easy to observe, if the probe is working in the specified range.
The probe also provides an active offset correction in a range of ±3 V, related to the output voltage, with a resolution of 15 Bit. Utilizing lowest ppm components available, the probe offer exceptional stability.
Especially long term measurements profit from such low drifts at varying temperatures.
Another feature is the probechannel identifier, providing a channel indicator LED.

Power Supply
BumbleBee? works in conjunction with PMK Power Supplies PS-02 and PS-03. Not only does a BumbleBee benefit from such a liaison, due to its high-quality components, convection-cooling and high stability, but also utilizes the Power Supply as an interface. The free software "PMK Probe Control" lets the user see and edit settings of probes connected to such a Power Supply.
