TCP202 DC Coupled Current Probe
When combined with a Tektronix TDS oscilloscope, the TCP202
enables users to make direct readout DC and AC current measurements, resulting
in accurate displayed and recorded measurements.
The TCP202 is a general-purpose probe for displaying and
measuring current in electronic circuits. It's ideal for power supply
and motor drive design, and for device testing.

TDS 754A; TDS 754C; TDS 754D; TDS 784A (S/N B040100
or higher); TDS 784C; TDS 784D; TDS 794D.
TDS 744A and TDS 784A with S/N B030XXX or lower can be
upgraded to the latest version using the TDS 7U01 Upgrade Kit.
For TCP202 operation with other TDS 400, TDS 500, TDS 600,
and TDS 700 series oscilloscopes; the scale factor will be correct,
but measurement will be indicated as V instead of A.
Increase the Accuracy of Your Current Measurements
The accuracy of the TCP202 AC/DC
current probe is normally 3%. However, the accuracy may be improved to
1% when the probe is calibrated on the TDS oscilloscope using the optional
Calibrator P/N 015-0672-50. This improved accuracy is available on the
above Recommended Oscilloscopes list.
