Installation
Connecting Probes
The oscilloscope supports probes with the following:
1. Tektronix Versatile Probe Interface
(TekVPI)
These probes support two-way
communication with the oscilloscope
through on-screen menus and remotely
through programmable support. The
remote control is useful in applications
like ATE where you want the system to
preset probe parameters.
2. Tektronix Versatile Probe Interface
(TekVPI) for Passive Probes
These probes build upon the functionality
of the TekVPI interface. Each probe
is matched with its c orresponding
oscilloscope channel, allowing the
oscilloscope to optimize the signal input
path. This provides AC compensation
across the frequency band.
3. TPA-BNC Adapter
The TPA-BNC Adapter allows you to
use TEKPROBE II probe capabilities,
such as providing probe power, and
passing scaling and unit information to
the oscilloscope.
4. BNC Interfaces
Some of these use TEKPROBE
capabilities to pass the waveform signal
and scaling to the oscilloscope. Some
only pass the signal and there is no other
communication.
5. Logic Probe Interface
The P6616 probe provides 16 channels
of digital (on or off state) information.
6. The TPA-N-VPI Adapter allows you to
use TekVPI probes in the RF input.
