Getting Started
The 80A03 TekConnect Probe Interface Module is an adapter that allows you to
use TekConnect probes with 80E0X sampling modules and the following main
instruments (mainframes):
H DSA8200 Digital Serial Analyzer
H CSA8000, CSA8000B, and CSA8200 Communications Signal Analyzers
H TDS8000, TDS8000B, and TDS8200 Digital Sampling Oscilloscopes
The interface is comprised of an enclosure that houses a compartment for one
80E0X electrical sampling module and two TekConnect probe inputs. The
interface connects to the mainframe through a permanently attached 1 meter
extender cable.
Figure 1: The 80A03 TekConnect Probe Interface Module
The 80A03 TekConnect Probe Interface Module also allows you the flexibility of
using the interface as a general-purpose sampling module extender cable by
simply disconnecting the short semi-rigid cables on the front panel of the
interface and using the sampling module inputs directly.
