Features and Accessories
The P6112 Passive Probe is designed for use with a TDS 200 series
oscilloscope that has a bandwidth of 100 MHz or less.
The P6112 Passive Probe is listed with Underwriters Laboratories
Inc. and meets the requirements of UL 3111–1, ground referenced.
NOTE. Remove and discard the protective cover on the tip of the
probe before attempting to connect a probe tip accessory.
P6112 Features and Standard Accessories
BNC-to-Probe Tip Adapter – To install the adapter, push the wide
end firmly into a BNC connector. Then, insert the probe tip firmly into
the adapter.
Retractable Hook Tip – Use the retractable hook tip to make
hands-free measurements.
NOTE To ensure a proper connection, firmly twist the hook tip onto the
probe.

Probe Compensation
Before taking any measurements using a probe, first check the
compensation of the probe and adjust the probe compensation to
match the channel input the probe is connected to.
NOTE. If you use a hook tip, ensure a proper connection by firmly
twisting the hook tip onto the probe.
1. Connect the probe to the Probe Comp signal on your TDS 200
series oscilloscope and then press AUTOSET.
