The Tektronix current probe amplifier is a state of the art device used with the Tektronix TCP404XL probe. It also seamlessly integrates with the Tektronix TDS series oscilloscopes. When used with this probe, the current probe amplifier provides a wide range of current measurement capabilities. Also, it spans the gap between low-level milliamp measurements to very high current levels for simple and easy current measurements and calculations.
Features and Benefits
AC/DC measurement capabilities DC– 100MHz Automatic scaling and units 2– oscilloscope on-screen readout of magnitude and amps reduces measurement errors with no more hand calculations AC/DC input coupling Low insertion impedance reduces device under test loading Split-core construction allows easy circuit connection Status indicators provide visual operating status and notification of potential error conditions– degauss, probe open, overload, not terminated into 50Ohm, noncompatible probe type Lower DC drift and noise allows improved low-level current measurements
Applications
Development and analysis solutions for designers, installers, and service personnel in telecomm, data communications, computer, and semiconductor power electronics environments for: Power supplies (switching and linear) Semiconductor devices (SCRs, IGBTs, MOSFETs, CMOS, BJTs) Power inverters/converters Electronic ballasts Industrial/consumer electronics Mobile communications (phone, satellite, and relay stations) Motor drives Transportation systems (electronic vehicles, electric trains, locomotives, and avionics)
