P6021
Introduction
ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
(cont)
The Tektronix P6021 5 foot and 9 foot Current Probes
are designed to measure alternating current waveforms.
These probes, used with current devices such as the Type
134 Current Probe Ampl ifier, 7 A 14 Current Probe Ampl i
fier plug-in, or the P6021 Passive Termination, permit a
current waveform to be viewed and measured on the
oscilloscope. This instruction manual deals primarily with
the P6021 Current Probe as used with the Termination. For
information concerning use with the current probe ampli
fier, refer to the appropriate current probe amplifier
instruction manual.
The specifications pertain to the P6021 Current Probe
with Termination.
