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.
Recommended Oscilloscopes
TDS520B; TDS520C; TDS520D; TDS540B; TDS540C; TDS540D; TDS580C; TDS580D; TDS654C, TDS680C, TDS684C, TDS694C, TDS724A; TDS724C; TDS724D; TDS744A (S/N B040100 or higher); TDS754A; TDS754C; TDS754D; TDS784A (S/N B040100 or higher); TDS784C; TDS784D; TDS794D; TDS3000 Series; TDS3000B Series, TDS5000 Series; TDS5000B Series; TDS6000 Series and TDS6000B Series with TCA-BNC adapter; TDS7000 Series and TDS7000B Series with TCA-BNC adapter.
For TCP202 operation with other TDS400, TDS500, TDS600 and TDS700 Series oscilloscopes, the scale factor will be correct but measurement will be indicated as V instead of A.
CP202 DC Coupled Current Probe
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.
