PMK Probe Control

The PMK Probe Control Software is used to remotely control, monitor and adjust compatible PMK probes connected to a compatible power supply, e.g. PS-02 or PS-03, via a USB or LAN interface.

Supported probe models:

Differential high voltage probe series BumbleBee®
Differential high-voltage probe series HORNET®
Optically isolated probe series FireFly®
Active ground-referenced probe series Sonic® with reverse polarity protection
Differential probe series HSDP

For the listed probe models we recommend the use of our remote software solutions PMK Probe Control (Windows GUI) and PMK-probes (Python driver) to utilize their full performance.

Sonic®, HSDP Series:

Numerical input of offset voltage to suppress DC components in the signal, allowing the user to gain more detailed insight into the signal without overdriving the oscilloscope's input amplifier

BumbleBee® series, HORNET® series:

Automatic probe detection
Save and load probe settings to enable reproducible measurements
Free color selection of the channel identifier to match the selected oscilloscope input
Offset zeroing without entering values
Changing the offset step size when using the probe manually
Numerical input of the offset voltage to mask DC components in the signal, allowing the user more detailed insight into the signal without overdriving the oscilloscope's input amplifier
Setting the desired division factor
Dark switching of the entire keypad for use of the probe in dark chambers
Keypad lock to protect against unauthorized access and thus against unwanted changes to the settings
Activate / mute keypad buzzer for manual and remote operation
Detection and counting of overvoltages or overdriven amplifiers with path detection
Switchable continuous signaling (beep) when overvoltage (overload) is detected
The software enables the use of PMK probes in semiconductor testers or in environments that are not accessible or dangerous for the user during operation.
