Installation
Connecting Probes
The oscilloscope supports probes with the following:
1. Tektronix Versatile Probe Interface
(TekVPI)
These probes support two-way
communication with the oscilloscope
through on-screen menus and remotely
through programmable support. The
remote control is useful in applications
like an ATE (automated test environment)
where you want the system to preset
probe parameters.
NOTE. For more information on the m any
probes available for use with MSO2000B and
DPO2000B Series oscilloscopes, visit the
Oscilloscope Probe and A ccessory Selector
tool on the Tektronix w ebsite.
2. TPA-BNC Adapter
The TPA-BNC Adapter allows you to
use Tek Probe II probe capabilities,
such as providing probe power, and
passing scaling and unit information to
the oscilloscope.
NOTE. To use a TekVPI probe and a
TPA-BNC adapter, connect a TekVPI
external power adapter (Tektronix part
number 119
‑
7465
‑
XX) to the side panel
Probe Power connector.
3. Plain BNC Interfaces
Some probes use TekProbe capabilities
to pass the waveform signal and scaling
to the oscilloscope. Other probes
only pass the signal and there is no
communication.
4. Digital Probe Interface
(MSO2000B series only)
The P6316 probe provides 16 channels
of digital ( on or off state) information.
For more information on the many probes available for use with M SO2000B and DP O2000B series oscilloscopes, refer to
www.tektronix.com.
