Platform/cable assembly provided with WL-2.92MM-CASE
The Platform/Cable Assembly performs the following important functions:

It provides power to the probe amplifier from the oscilloscope.

It communicates to the oscilloscope the identifying characteristics of the amplifier that is
connected to the probe so that the oscilloscope channel can be set to the correct probe
attenuation value automatically. Software prompts you to specify the type of tip connected
to the amplifier when this occurs.

It transmits the amplifier output signal along a well-defined low loss transmission line into the
oscilloscope input, and terminates the probe appropriately at that point.
NOTE: Legacy WL-PLINK platform/cable assemblies are not compatible with the D1x05-A or D2x05-A
13+ GHz amplifier modules. Only the WL-PLINK-A or WL-2.92MM are compatible.
