P5205 Instruction Manual
15
Specifications
The specifications in Tables 2 through 6 apply to a P5205 probe
installed on a Tektronix TDS 460A oscilloscope. When the probe is
used with another oscilloscope, the oscilloscope must follow these
specifications:
H An input impedance of 1 MΩ
H An input capacitance range of between 15 and 20 pF
H A bandwidth greater than 400 MHz
The probe must have a warm-up period of at least 20 minutes and be
in an environment that does not exceed the limits described in
Table 2.
Specifications for the P5205 probe fall into three categories:
warranted, typical, and nominal characteristics.
WARNING. Special fixtures are required to examine specifications at
the maximum frequency and voltage levels and should be conducted
only by qualified Service Personnel . See t he Service section for more
detail.
Warranted Characteristics
Warranted characteristics in Tables 2 and 3 describe guaranteed
performance within tolerance limits or certain type-tested require-
ments. Warranted characteristics that have checks in the Perfor-
mance Verification section appear in boldface type.
