TriMode™ Probing, Connectivity, and
Performance

TriMode™ Probing Architecture

One-probe setup makes differential, single ended, and common mode
measurements accurately and definitively.

Tektronix is a kno wn leader when it comes to signal fidelity and signal
acquisition. Building on our history of market-leading innovations in probing,

After TriMode (P75TLRST): 1 Probe for Differential, Single Ended, and Common Mode,
with only 1 setup required.

we invented a revolutionary probing architecture called “TriMode™ Probing”

nes the next-generation industry benchmark for usability and signal

that defi
fidelity. This architecture changes the rules of probing and allows you to
work more effectively and efficiently. By enabling unique functionality, the
P7500 Series TriMode probes allow you to switch between differential,
single ended, and common mode measurements without moving the probe
from its connection points.

Improved productivity is achieved by reducing setup time. One setup can be
used to make the three different types of measurements all with the press

ton. The TriMode Probe architecture for the P7500 Series probes

of a but
continues the Tektronix tradition of high-bandwidth an d low-DUT loading
while providing improved connectivity and value.
