TekVPI™ Interface Adapter

TPA-BNC Adapter enables existing TekProbe®interface products (active, differential, high-voltage, current, and optical probes) to be used with Tektronix’ newest ge neration of DPO7000 and DPO4000 Series Oscilloscopes which feature the new TekVPI™ probe interface architecture. Existing Te which is t hen plugged directly into any TekVPI probe channel of the DPO7000 and DPO4000 Series oscilloscopes. The TPA-BNC adapter recognizes and supplies the necessary power and serial communication and offset control as used by the connected TekProbe p roduct accessory.

Note: Tektronix probe types using a BNC connection, or a BNC connection with a single analog encoding pin for attenuation factor detection connect directly to the oscilloscope’s TekVPI probe interface and do not require aTPA-BNCad

TekProbe®Interface

TekProbe is a probe interface architecture introduced in 1986, and used on many earlier models of Tektronix oscilloscopes including the TDS300, TDS400, TDS500, TDS600, TDS700, TDS3000/B, TDS5000/B, and TDS7000 Series. In addition to coupling the signal from the probe to the oscilloscope, the TekProbe interface provides power and offset control to active p attenuation scale factor and/or probe type.
