Accessories • www.tektronix.com/accessories

When combined with a Tektronix TDS

oscilloscope, the TCP202 enables

users to make direct readout DC and

AC current measurements, resulting in

accurately displayed and recorded

measurements.

The TCP202 is a general-purpose probe

for displaying and measuring current in

electronic circuits. It is ideal for power

supply and motor drive design and for

device testing.

other TDS400, TDS500, TDS600 and TDS700

Series oscilloscopes, the scale factor will be correct

but measurement will be indicated as V instead

of A.

Increase the accuracy of your

current measurements

The accuracy of the TCP202 AC/DC current probe

is normally 3%. However, the accuracy may be

improved to 1% when the probe is calibrated on

certain TDS oscilloscope models using the

optional Calibrator P/N 015-0672-50. This

improved accuracy is available on the TDS

Oscilloscopes Series TDS500, TDS600 and

TDS700, however the optional calibrator is only

functional with the TDS500, TDS600 or TDS700

Series oscilloscope calibrator pins.
