Typical applications include the measurement of pulsed drive current for
Laser Diodes, measurement and signal injection for Wideband Video Drivers,
Defection Coil Drivers, RF amplifiers and SCR gates
The 711 probe is recommended and used by Avtech Electrosystems Ltd.

The inherent isolation of the 711 probe provides a convenient measurement
method in circuits that may not be ground referenced. Isolated coupling
between the circuit and test equipment allows an accurate measurement of high
amplitude current pulses.
The Model 711 probe is available in several configurations.
- Model 711 S is the standard probe capable of measuring pulse widths from
15nSec to 2000nSec.
- Model 711-UHF is the high speed probe capable of measuring widths from
5nSec to 16nSec.
- Both models are available with BNC termination or with loose leads as a
dedicated in circuit monitoring device. Custom configurations are also
available .

The probe has a rise time of less than 1.3n sec. and is useful in measuring
pulsed currents with widths of 5n sec to 2000n sec. The current probe adds
only 0.02 ohms shunted by 4mh. When terminated with 50 ohms, the
sensitivity of the probe is 1mV/mA with an accuracy
of +/- 2%. The
Model 711 Current Probe can measure current pulses up to 100A with ampere-second
products of less than 6A-microsec.
