Applications

Selecting the right probe for your application is key to attaining the best signal fidelity in your measurements. Active probes provide truer signal reproduction and fidelity for high frequency measurements. Tektronix provides you a wide range of 4 GHz active probes to select from for your application.

TekConnect Interface - P7240 The P7240 with TekConnect interface is a high-performance active probe with high bandwidth and low capacitive loading to make it the probe of choice for demanding design applications, such as Rambus, DDR DRAM and AGP. This probe and others in the family are also suited for applications in the communication industry, for measurements on Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet. With the TekConnect interface, you can be assured that maximum signal integrity is maintained to meet present and future bandwidth needs.

TekProbe BNC Interface - P6249 and P6241

The P6249 and P6241 have similar performances to the P7240. Primarily used for the TDS694C and TDS794D performance scopes, these probes may also be used with conventional BNC interfaces via the Tektronix 1103 TekProbe Power Supply. The P6249 provides 4 Vp-p dynamic range. The P6241 offers a 10X attenuation and a 8 Vp-p dynamic range plus has a lower input capacitance due to the unique probe tip. A full complement of versatile probe tip accessories helps users connect to the wide range of devices faced by digital designers.

SMA Interface/Sampling Oscilloscopes - P6209 The P6209 provides a high-bandwidth, low circuit loading probing solution for the CSA/TDS8000B sampling oscilloscopes with TekProbe SMA input connection. Based on the P6249 probe design, the P6209 has similar performance and a similar small probe head for access to today's fine-pitch SMDs and connection points.
