Active FET Probes for TEKPROBE® BNC Interface
The P6204 and P6205 Probes are part of Tektronix' line of
Low Circuit Loading Signal Acquisition probes for CSA (Communications
Signal Analyzers), DSA (Digitizing Signal Analyzers), 11000 Series and
the TDS Family of Oscilloscopes.
The P6204 and P6205 are designed with FET devices for their
inputs, which allows very high input resistance values and low input capacitances.
Power for the P6204 and P6205 is supplied by the CSA, DSA,
TDS and 11000 Series mainframes through the TEKPROBE BNC Interface, eliminating
the need for extra cabling and/or external power supplies.*2
A variable DC Offset function, which is controlled through
the mainframe (CSA, DSA and 11000 Series) to bring signals (those within
the offset control range) into the dynamic range of the probe, is available
for the P6204.
Probe information such as type, serial number, attenuation
factor, offset scale factor, input resistance and termination resistance
required is communicated through the TEKPROBE Interface between the Active
Probe and the CSA, DSA and 11000 Series mainframes. This information is
used by these oscilloscope mainframes during the scope initialization
sequence and measurement analysis.
Remote Control of several 11000 Series Programmable Functions/Actions
is possible using the "Identify Button" on the P6204 probe head.
These functions include Autoset, recall the next in a series of stored
setups, invoke Automatic-Measurement, issue an SRQ (service action request)
or activate the trace identification function.
These Active Probes may also be use with 50 0hm or 1 megaohm
oscilloscope systems, with conventional BNC interfaces, via the Tektronix
1103 TEKPROBE® Power Supply. The 1103 has dual TEKPROBE
power supply inputs, dual BNC signal outputs and dual voltage offset on/off
switches and potentiometers.
Benefit Highlights
- Low Input C, High Input R - Minimizes circuit under test loading
- Probe Power Directly from CSA, DSA, TDS or 11000 Series TEKPROBE
BNC Interfaces - Means no additional cables or power supplies required*2
- Variable DC Offset (Except P6205) - Allows correction for DC levels
to bring the signal into the probe's dynamic measurement range
- Readout Coding for 10X Attenuation - Reduces confusion and errors
in measurement readings
- Gold-plated Replaceable Probe Tips - Improved electrical connections
and lower maintenance costs
- Miniature Size Accessories - Provides wide range of circuit attachments
- UL Listed - Third party certification for safe operation
PROBE BNC Interface Probes on the 11800 or CSA 800 Series requires
an 1103 TEKPROBE Power Supply,
an SMA Male to BNC Female adapter and a 50 Ohm BNC cable.
