Connecting Probes
The DPO4000 oscilloscope supports probes with the following:
1. Tektronix Versatile Probe Interface
(TekVPI)
These probes support two -way
communication with the oscilloscope
through on-screen menu s and remotely
through programmable support. The
remote control is useful in applications like
ATE where you want the system to preset
probe parameters.
2. TPA-BNC Adapter
The TPA-BNC Adapter allows you to use
TekProbe Level II probe capabilities, such
as providing probe power a nd pa ssing
information to the oscilloscope on scaling
and whether the units are volts or amperes.
3. Plain BNC interface s
These probes only pass the waveform
signal to the oscilloscope. There is no
other communication.
