Tektronix Enhances TriMode Probe Series

Tektronix reportedly has unveiled new offerings of its active differential probes.

 

The company says that these products will complement the full portfolio of new DPO/DSA70000B Series real-time oscilloscopes, pictured below.

 

Engineers who work in a test environment often need to use advanced and quick equipment to provide better results. In a signal environment, often, they are not able to between differential, single-ended and common mode measurements without moving the probe connections.

 

Tektronix (News - Alert) says that the P7500 probing family now solves that problem as it offers performance probes for 4, 6 and 8 GHz along with ultra-performance probes at 13, 16 and 20 GHz. All this will improve signal fidelity, low circuit loading and unique patented TriMode measurement switching.

 

“To meet the needs that engineers face every day, we’re delivering the unique patented TriMode probing capability to complement our complete portfolio of 4 to 20 GHz oscilloscopes,” said Brian Reich, vice president of Performance Oscilloscopes at Tektronix. “With breakthrough capabilities, excellent signal fidelity and unique connectivity that enable easy access to test signals, the expanded P7500 family of probes sets the standard for performance, efficiency and ease-of-use.”

 

Probing capability is now available across the complete portfolio of Tektronix DPO/DSA70000B performance and ultra-performance oscilloscopes. This will be especially useful for electrical engineers, as they will be working in serial data signal environments and they can now use the most advanced scope and probe combination to do so.

 

With the help of TriMode probing, engineers can switch between differential, single-ended and common mode measurements without even having to move the probe connections. Each new Tektronix P7500 series probe (P7504, P7506, P7508) along with the currently available probes in the family (P7513, P7516, P7520) provide TriMode measurements.

 

In November, as TMCnet reported, the company introduced two new models in MTS400 MPEG Analyzer Series. The new models, the midrange MTS415 and the portable, entry-level MTS400P models are both capable of providing advanced enhancements over traditional MPEG analyzers and operate both in real-time (live streams) and deferred-time (stored streams).
