Description
FEATURES/CHARACTERISTICS:
Bandwidth DC to 50 MHz Aberrations <3% from 1mA/DIV to 50mA/DIV Noise Periodic <0.5mA +0.2 div, tangentially measured Random Trace Shift <1.5mA Dynamic Range +500mV to -500mV at probe amplifier Positioning Range +300mV to -300mV at probe amplifier output Attenuator Accuracy within +/-3% Required Output Load Impedance 50 Ohm Input Power <20W Risetime 7ns Maximum Input Current 1A to 5mA: 10A (DC+peak AC), depending on frequency. 2mA and 1mA: 0.5A (DC+peak AC) Thermal Drift (Probe only) <2mA/°C from 15°C to 35°C with amplifier temperature constant. Thermal Drift (Amplifier only) <0.2div/°C with probe temperature constant. Voltage-Feedthrough Susceptibility <250µA/V at 50MHz External Magnetic Field Suscceptibility <250µA/Gauss, at 60Hz A very important Instrument in every laboratory, a current probe to measure from DC to higher frequencies. The Tektronix P6042 was designed for use with scopes having either 50 Ohm or high-impedance inputs. Set the scope to 50mV/DIV, terminate the coaxial cable with 50 Ohm. For somebody developing a switching power supply, a current probe is a big help.
