Quick and stable XY
browsing- N2784A
and N2785A
The N2784A and N2785A probe po-
sitioners provide quick and stable X-Y
positioning to PC boards and devices
that require hands-free probing.
Unlike other probe positioners that
require multiple adjustments to lock
the probe holder into position, the
N2784A and N2785A need only a “lift
and drop” motion to position the probe
in place. The weight stabilization tech-
nique used in the probe holder keeps
constant pressure at the probing point
so the probe tip stays in position even
when the target board is bumped.
The N2784A and N2785A probe posi-
tioners are compatible with most
Keysight Technologies, Inc.scope
probes, including InfiniiMax single-
ended and differential browsers.
They are also compatible with various
probes manufactured by other ven-
dors. The N2784A comes with a single
positioning arm, while the N2785A
comes with two positioning arms.
