Norway +47 22 07 07 00 People's Republic of China 86 (10) 6235 1230 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.
