  • Provides Automatic Units Scaling and Readout on the Oscilloscope's Display
  • Remote Programmable GPIB Control for ATE systems
  • Split-core Probe Head Construction Allows Easy Connection to Conductors
  • Easy to Degauss and Autozero
  • Setup Controls and Probe Status and Diagnostic Indicators are Provided on Both the Probe Hardware and through an Easy-to-Access Scope UI Display Menu

Applications

  • Power Supplies
  • Semiconductor Devices
  • Power Inverters/Converters
  • Electronic Ballasts
  • Industrial/Consumer Electronics
  • Motor Drives
  • Transportation Systems
  • Note: Requires DPO7000 Series Firmware Version 3.0.2 or greater. Requires MSO/DPO4000 Firmware Version 2.06 or greater.

TCP0150 is a high performance and easy-to-use 150 A 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 DPO4000, MSO4000, and DPO7000 Series oscilloscopes. This AC/DC current measurement probe provides 20 MHz of frequency bandwidth with selectable range control for 25 A and 150 A measurement ranges. It also provides low-current measurement capability and accuracy to current levels as low as 5 mA per division – important for achieving broad dynamic current range of high-level and low-level measurement signals.
