Tektronix P7240 Product Description

P7240 4 GHz 5XAct ive Probe UserManual 1

Product Description

The Tektronix P7240 is a 4 GHz(probe only), 5X act ive FET probe.

The P7240 has a low input capacitance (1 pF) and high input

resistance (20 k Ω), whichminimize circuit loading over a wide

bandwidth range. The small profile and low-mass head of t he P7240

make probingdense circuitry by hand fast and easy. The accessory

tips and adapters included enable the P7240 to be used on a wide

variety of circuit architectures.

TekConnectInterface

The P7240 is powered through a TekConnect interface between the

probe compensationbox and the oscilloscope. The TekConnect

interface provides a communication path through cont act pins on the

host instrument. Power, signal, offset, and probe characteristic data

transfer through the interface.
