The P6032 is a high-speed cathode-follower probe. There is a miniature triode in the probe body. Like all active probes, the P6032 requires power, and for this reason it has two connectors at the scope end of cable. There is a four-pin power connector and a 50-Ohm GR connector for the signal. The triode has limited dynamic range, so attenuator attachments are provided that attach to the tip of the probe. These attenuators also reduce the loading of the probe on the probed circuit. The probe is rated to 850MHz. Because the probe contains a small triode, it gets slightly warm during operation.
