Manual Conventions
The term “amplifier” is used to refer to either the TCPA300 or TCPA400 when
referring to common attributes. If a subject is unique to either amplifier, the
amplifier will be referred to directly by model.
The terms “current probe” and “probe” are used to refer to any of the
TCP300/400 Series current probes when referring to common attributes. If a
subject is unique to a particular probe, the probe will be referred to directly by
model.
