Tektronix Active Voltage Probes

Introduction

Active voltage probes provide digital phosphor oscilloscopes and other instrumentation the ability to faithfully acquire real time signal information from today's high-speed designs. Active probes provide a wide signal acquisition bandwidth and ensure reduced device under test (DUT) loading. An active probe is the best choice when your application involves high-impedance, high-frequency circuit elements that demand minimal loading.

Truest Signal Reproduction and Fidelity...

• Ultra-Low Input Capacitances – < 0.5 pF
• Easy Access For SMD – Small size, Variety of Attachments
• Service, Durability and Reliability – 1 Year Warranty, WW Service
• Can be used with CSA/TDS8000 Series via 80A03 TekConnect Interface Adapter

External TEKPROBE BNC Power Supply for P6249, P6245, P6243, P6205


*1 11000 Series = 11A32/11A34/11A52/11A71/11A81 in a compatible mainframe, i.e., DSA 600/CSA 400/11400, etc.

*2 Interface/Readout/Identify-AutoProbe Code: (TPB=TEKPROBE BNC)/(TPS=TEKPROBE SMA)/(BNC=Conventional BNC)/(Y=Yes)/(N=No).

*3 DC Offset functions are not incorporated into the TDS3000/3000B or the older TDS 400 Series.

*4 Requires firmware version 2.1 or higher for TDS7000 or CSA7000 Series TekConnect oscilloscopes.
