TCP0030
TCP0030 is a high-performance, easy-to-use AC/DC current probe
designed for use and direct connection (without the need of an additional
power supply) to the TekVPI™ probe interface used on Tektronix' new
DPO7000 and DPO4000 Series Oscilloscopes. This AC/DC current measurement
probe provides greater than 120 MHz of bandwidth with selectable 5 A
and 30 A measurement ranges. It also provides exceptional low-current
measurement capability and accuracy to current levels as low as 1 mA,
important for meeting today’s challenging current measurement needs.
