P6133 Instruction Manual
1
Operating Basics
The P6133 probe is a 150 MHz, 10X, 2 meter, passive voltage probe designed
specifically for use with Tektronix 2400 Series oscilloscopes having bandwidths
less than or equal to 150 MHz.
The P6133 standard probe comes with a 2 meter cable length (1.3 meter length is
also available) and the Tektronix Subminiature probe tip/hybrid assembly, which
is fully compatible with the Tektronix Subminiature family of accessories.
The P6133 Option 25 probe comes with the Compact Series probe tip/hybrid
assembly and is available in 1.3 meter length only. The Compact size probe
tip/hybrid assembly is slightly larger in diameter than the Subminiature, offering
greater durability and ruggedness in those environments and applications where
required. The Compact tip is not compatible with the Subminiature series and is
supplied with its own accessories.
Optional accessories are available for both tip sizes. You can also convert the
Subminiature and Compact probe tip/hybrid assemblies to the Tektronix
Miniature series probe tip by using the subminiature/compact-to-miniature probe
tip adapter (see the optional accessories sections for the individual probe types).
WARNING.
To avoid electric shock when using the probe, do not touch the
metallic portions of the probe head while connected to a voltage source.
Probe Compensation
Due to variations in oscilloscope input characteristics, probe low-frequency
compensation should be checked and or adjusted if you move the probe from one
oscilloscope input to another. Connect the probe tip to a 1 kHz square wave
signal (such as the oscilloscope calibrator output) and use a nonconductive
low-reactance alightment tool to adjust the probe compensation capacitor.
See page 9 for complete low-frequency and high-frequency compensation
adjustment procedures.
