Turbulent transport in the Scrape-Off-Layer (SOL) is expected to be crucial for the upcoming divertor operation of Wendelstein 7-X. Electric probes are an established tool for both SOL profile characterization and turbulence measurements and are consequently also employed in W7-X. A fast reciprocating probe carrier mounted at the outboard mid-plane allows to scan the entire SOL up to the last closed flux surface. In this contribution, scenarios of probe measurements with respect to turbulence in the SOL of W7-X are explored. Fundamental parameters such as the SOL width and pressure decay length are deduced from profiles of plasma potential, density and temperature which are obtained utilizing sweeping Langmuir probes. A dedicated probe head designed for turbulence studies (comprising radial and poloidal probe arrays and a Mach probe) allows to investigate spectra and the radial-poloidal structure of fluctuations, poloidal and radial electric fields, parallel and perpendicular plasma flows and particle transport. The connection of the probe pins along a magnetic flux tube to other SOL diagnostics allows for benchmarking of results and for studies of the parallel structure and dynamics of turbulent plasma fluctuations.
