Operator Information
Thank you for choosing a Tektronix current probe. This manual describes the
P6021 current probe with passive termination and provides information about
making measurements with the probe.
Description
The P6021 current probe converts an alternating current waveform to a voltage
that can be displayed and measured on an oscilloscope display. The probe
provides accurate current measurements over a wide range of frequencies and
allows you to measure current without breaking the circuit.
The P6021 probe is compatible with general purpose oscilloscopes having a
1M
W
input impedance. The P6021 probe comes with a passive termination that
matches oscilloscope and probe impedance, optimizes the probe performance,
and provides two sensitivity settings.
In the standard configuration, the P6021 probe comes with a 5-foot cable and
termination. The following option is also available.
Option 03. 9-foot cable with termination
Installation
This section describes both attaching the probe to an oscilloscope and using the
standard accessories with the probe.
To ensure the best performance from your probe and oscilloscope measurement
system, check that the probe and oscilloscope are appropriately matched. The
oscilloscope inputs should use BNC connectors and have an impedance of
1M
W
.
Figure 1 shows the probe and various parts referred to in this manual.
