Measurement System
provides a breakthrough in
measurement capability for
designers who make many
types of power, current,
and floating voltage
measurements.
The system consists of a
TDS 744A oscilloscope*,
P5205 high-voltage
differential probe, and the
TCP202 current probe.
The probes are powered by
the scope via the TEKPROBE
interface and the readout
on the screen is in Volts,
Amps, or W (watts) with
correct magnitude.

The TDS 744A digital
oscilloscope provides the
advanced signal acquisition, analysis and display
functions required for
making power electronics
measurements.
The P5205 high-voltage
differential probe allows
users to make safe, floating
measurements with the
oscilloscope grounded.

*Although the TDS 744A (S/N
B040100 & up) (4 channel, Color
Display) is the preferred oscilloscope for power electronics
measurements, the following
oscilloscopes may be substituted:
differential measurements
on most power systems.
The TCP202 is a DC-coupled current probe capable
of measuring DC currents
up to 15 amps and peak
pulse currents up to
50 amps. With its DC to
50 MHz bandwidth, it can
be used with the P5205 to
provide instantaneous
power measurements of
circuits up to 50 MHz.

The total system has the
capability of measuring the
area under the curve of the
current and voltage waveforms. The probes have
propagation delays that are
matched to ±2 nsec. In
addition, the scope has
deskew capability for more
precise measurements.
Power calculations developed from these waveforms are displayed directly
in W (watts).
