Probe Sensing Area
The sensing area determines the probe's measurement range.
Larger Sensing Area = Larger Range

Sensing areas are indicated by their diameter in mm and are combined with the probe body style to form a probe model number such as C3-0.8 (C3 body style and 0.8 mm diameter sensing area) or C18-13 (C18 body style and 13 mm sensing area).
Target area diameter must be 130% of the sensing area diameter or custom calibration will be required.
Probes can be ordered as vacuum compatible.
Custom probes are available.

Calibration Types
Four different calibration types are available enabling you to find the optimal pairing of range and resolution. While resolution as a percent of range is very similar, the smaller ranges have correspondingly smaller resolution values. Not all probes are available in all calibration types.
CPL290 dual range/sensitivity typically uses one probe with two different calibrations.

Resolution values are RMS. Peak-to-peak values are typically 8-10 times greater than the RMS values.
In high EMI conditions (10 V/m), output DC level may shift and noise may rise to 0.2 VRMS (1% resolution)
Custom calibrations can acheive exceptional resolution performance
