Description
The P6106A is a miniature, 10X-attenuating passive probe that is compatible
with general purpose oscilloscopes having a 1 M
W
input impedance.
The P6106A is compatible with Tektronix oscilloscopes that automatically detect
and display the attenuation factor of the attached probe.
The P6106A has a ground-reference push button that momentarily grounds the
probe output. This feature allows you to quickly identify the oscilloscope display
associated with one of several attached probes as well as making ground-refer-
enced measurements easier.
The P6106A is available with the following cable lengths:
Standard
2 meters
Option 01
1 meter
Each probe option is fully compatible with Tektronix accessories for miniature
probes.
