Data Sheet

TekConnect Interface - P7240

The P7240 with TekConnect interface is a high-performance active probe
with high bandwidth and low-capacitive loading to make it the probe of
choice for demanding design applications, such as Rambus, DDR DRAM
and AGP. T
in the communication industry, for measurements on Fibre Channel and
Gigabit Ethernet. With the TekConnect interface, you can be assured
that maximum signal integrity is maintained to meet present and future
bandwidth needs.

TekProbe BNC Interface - P6249 and P6241

The P6249 and P6241 have similar perform ances to the P7240. Primarily
used for the TDS694C and TDS794D p erformance scopes, these probes
may also be used w ith conventional BNC interfaces through the Tektronix
1103 Tek
The P6241 offers a 10X attenuation and a 8 V
lower input capacitance due to the unique probe tip. A full complement of
versatile probe tip accessories helps users connect to the wide range of
devices faced by digital designers.

SMA Interface/Sampling Oscilloscopes - P6209

The P6209 provides a high-bandwidth, low circuit loading probing solution
for the CSA/TDS8000B sampling oscilloscopes with TekProbe SMA input
connection. Based on the P624 9 probe design, the P6209 has similar
performance and a similar small probe head for access to today’s fine-pitch
SMDs and connection points.
