Probe Operating
Information
Probe Operati
ng Information
The P5200A Series probes share many common features, including connections to the circuit, compensation box buttons,
and operating basics. The probes connect to the host oscilloscope through one of two probe-to-oscilloscope interfaces:
BNC this connection is a shielded 50 coaxial cable with an outer ground connection and center signal pin. The BNC
interface is used on the P5200A probe, which allows you to c onnect directly to most g round-re ferenced oscilloscopes.
TekProbe
Level 2 this interface adds probe communications with the oscilloscope to accomplish calibrated offset at
the probe tip. This interface is used on the P5202A, P5205A, and P5210A probes, and many Tektronix oscilloscopes.
These probes can also be used with Tektronix oscilloscopes that use the TekVP I-interface, by connecting through an
optional
TPA-BNC Adapter.
TPA-BNC Adapter
The TPA-BNC Adapter is an optional accessory that enables you to use existing TekProbe-interface probes with oscilloscopes
that feature the TekVPI probe interface. The adapter recognizes TekProbe-interface probes and supplies the necessary
power, serial c ommunication, and offset control as used by the connected TekProbe product accessory.
WARNING. To reduce risk of shock or re, do not exceed the ratings of the TPA-BNC adapter; it is not intended to be
connected to voltages above 30 VAC, 42 Vpk, or 60 V DC. For BNC probes, connect the probe directly to the oscilloscope.
