Instruments With The Tekprobe Ii Interface (Tektronix Tds 400, 500, 600, And 700 Series Oscilloscopes); Instruments Without The Tekprobe Ii Interface - Tektronix P6246 Mode D'emploi

Instruments with the TekProbe II Interface (Tektronix TDS 400, 500, 600,
and 700 Series Oscilloscopes)
On instruments that have the TekProbe II interface, simply connect
the probe to the input. The TekProbe II interface provides power,
selects the correct display scaling, and automatically sets the 50 Ω
termination on the oscilloscope input.
NOTE. TDS 400 and TDS 400A series oscilloscopes do not interpret
the scale factor coding of the P6246 and P6247 differential probes.
This problem is only apparent when the probe is in the ÷ 1 position.
To correct for this problem, divide the measurement (or scale factor)
by 10 when you use the probe in the ÷ 1 position.

Instruments without the TekProbe II Interface

On instruments that do not have the TekProbe interface, you must
order the optional 1103 power supply (refer to page 11). Each 1103
can supply power for two probes. The input of the oscilloscope must
also terminate into 50 Ω. Refer to page 23 for information on the
effects of extending the output of the probe.
When you set the attenuation of the probe, you must factor that
attenuation into your measurement. For example, if the probe is set
at ÷ 10 and the instrument displays a 0.2 V
signal, the actual
p- - p
amplitude of the signal is 2 V .
